Vitakruid Magnesium 200 citrateWhere magnesium malate is bound to malic acid, magnesium citrate has citric acid as the binding factor. Both acids are part of the so-called citric acid cycle. This biochemical system is responsible for the majority of the energy produced in our cells. Moreover, research shows that our muscle tissue absorbs magnesium citrate relatively well compared to other magnesium compounds.
Cost-effective and well-absorbed
Magnesium citrate works similarly to magnesium malate. The main difference, however, is that magnesium citrate is not a chelated form. This makes this form less stable in the stomach and intestines. Why would you consider this option? The answer is relatively simple; the raw material magnesium citrate is simply cheaper to purchase than magnesium malate. Therefore, we can offer you Magnesium 200 Citrate at a lower price than Magnesium Malate. The choice for Citrate can thus be purely budget-related.
User-friendly due to tablet form
Furthermore, we offer you Magnesium Malate in powder form and Magnesium 200 Citrate in tablet form. Most people find supplementation in tablet form user-friendly; there's no fuss with water, stirring, and mixing. If you prefer supplementation in tablet form, we recommend Magnesium 200 Citrate!
Organic form
Magnesium citrate, taurate, bisglycinate, and malate are organically bound forms of magnesium. Inorganic magnesium forms such as magnesium chloride, magnesium hydroxide, and magnesium sulfate are less biologically available, and our body absorbs them less effectively. For example, magnesium sulfate has a biological availability of only 4%. This means that a dosage of 200 mg of magnesium sulfate is only effectively 8 mg.
Our daily diet generally contains inorganic bound magnesium. These are the forms that occur in the soil and are absorbed by the plants we eat daily. Examples include magnesium sulfate and magnesium carbonate. Our body only absorbs a small part of the magnesium we get from regular food. Therefore, supplementation with an organically bound form of magnesium often adds value to your diet!
