A good fit for Comparing a buffered citrate-and-oxide magnesium capsule with its elemental amount clearly separated from compound weight.
- The 444 mg elemental amount is stated separately from the 1480 mg compound figure, supporting a more useful comparison with other mineral supplements.
- The 240 plant-based capsules provide a clearly counted pack, and the retailer says capsules can be opened for people who prefer to mix the powder.
The ingredients include both citrate and oxide. The declared 444 mg two-capsule serving exceeds the level at which the NHS warns magnesium can cause diarrhoea.
Check the exact version, pack size and seller terms before buying.
The details that matter.
- Preparation
- Buffered magnesium citrate: magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide
- Declared elemental magnesium
- 444 mg per two capsules
- Compound headline
- 1480 mg per two capsules; not elemental magnesium
- Photographed pack
- 240 vegan capsules
- Capsule shell
- Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose
- The NHS notes that magnesium doses above 400 mg can cause diarrhoea. Review the proposed amount rather than assuming the retailer serving suits everyone.
- Ask for advice with kidney disease or interacting medicines; include magnesium from all other supplements when reviewing intake.
- Check the current ingredients for oxide buffering and follow the received label and professional advice.
Cycling & duration.
Ingredient timeframes describe the cited preparation; they do not establish a cycle for every finished formula.
Magnesium
- On/off pattern
- No established on/off cycle for citrate, marine-source or other magnesium preparations.
- Duration & evidence
- Duration follows the assessed dietary gap or clinical reason. A short sleep trial of magnesium bisglycinate does not set a course for these different forms.
- When to review
- Review elemental magnesium from all products, digestive tolerance, medicines and kidney health before prolonged use.
- Taking a break does not make a high supplemental dose safe. The NHS says more than 400mg can cause diarrhoea even over a short period.
- Compare elemental magnesium, rather than the larger weight of the magnesium compound.
