Description of Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium citrate is a white, odorless powder with a slightly salty taste. It exists in a crystalline form and has a gritty texture. Interestingly, magnesium citrate is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. This property necessitates storage in airtight containers to prevent clumping. From a scientific standpoint, magnesium citrate is a trimagnesium dicitrate salt, formulated as C6H5Mg3O7.

It combines three magnesium cations (Mg+2) with two citrate anions (C6H5O7³⁻) in a 3:2 ratio. This structure makes it highly soluble in water, contributing to its effectiveness in various applications. As a leading API manufacturer, WBCIL prioritizes strict CGMP and ISO quality control measures throughout the production process. The prolonged experience from 1962 ensures consistent potency, purity, and safety in every dose of WBCIL’s Magnesium Citrate.

Application of Magnesium Citrate

Constipation Relief

Laxative Effect: At higher doses, magnesium citrate is commonly used as an effective over-the-counter laxative. It works by drawing water into the intestines, which helps soften the stool and promotes bowel movements. This makes it a useful treatment for occasional constipation and can be administered before medical procedures like colonoscopies to clear the intestines.

Magnesium Supplementation

Enhanced Absorption: Magnesium citrate is more readily absorbed by the body compared to other forms of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide or sulfate. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals needing to correct magnesium deficiencies, which are linked to issues such as fatigue, muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeats. Its high bioavailability ensures that the body receives an adequate amount of this essential mineral.

Muscle Relaxation and Cramp Relief

Muscle Cramp Management: Magnesium citrate can help relax muscles and alleviate muscle cramps and spasms. It is often used by athletes or individuals experiencing muscle tension, as magnesium plays a key role in regulating muscle contractions. This application can also be beneficial for those suffering from muscle cramps due to conditions like restless leg syndrome or electrolyte imbalances.

Sleep Aid

Promotes Relaxation and Sleep: Magnesium is known to promote relaxation, and magnesium citrate may improve sleep quality by calming the nervous system. It helps regulate neurotransmitters like GABA, which aid in promoting restful sleep. This makes magnesium citrate a popular supplement for people struggling with insomnia or difficulty falling asleep, especially when combined with other calming or sleep-inducing practices.
