Magnesium Citrate — the Absorbable Workhorse Form
Magnesium is involved in hundreds of reactions in the body, and it's a mineral many people don't get enough of from food alone. The form you choose matters. SFI Health (formerly Klaire Labs) describes this one as "a readily soluble form of magnesium that is able to cross the blood-brain barrier."*

How It Fits Into a Protocol
Magnesium citrate is my everyday, general-purpose form. If the goal is purely calming or sleep, or if your stools already run loose, a glycinate form such as Thorne's Magnesium Glycinate is usually the better match. Citrate fits well beside stress-support work, like Adaptocrine, and it pairs with a broader mineral plan. I set the amount with you based on your whole picture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Citrate or glycinate?
Citrate is the readily soluble, all-purpose form. Glycinate is the gentler choice when stools run loose or the goal is relaxation. Many people can use either, and I'll match the form to you.
When do I take it?
SFI Health's directions say with food. Evening is a common choice, but any consistent time works.
Who should check with their provider first?
SFI Health's caution applies to anyone who is pregnant or nursing, has a medical condition, takes prescription drugs, or is under 12. Check with your prescribing provider before adding this.
Suggested Use: Adults: 1 capsule, 1 to 3 times daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare professional. 90 vegetarian capsules per bottle.
Warnings: Consult with your physician if you are pregnant or nursing, or have any medical condition, or taking prescription drugs, or under the age of 12 years. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
