WHY WE STOCK IT
An effervescent, stevia-sweetened magnesium drink providing 205 mg of elemental magnesium per teaspoon. When magnesium carbonate and citric acid dissolve in water, they form a water-soluble magnesium citrate solution.
 
Magnesium supports energy metabolism, normal muscle function, electrolyte balance and the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth.
 
BEST FOR
Adults who prefer a flavoured magnesium drink instead of capsules. The flexible serving size makes it easy to begin with a small amount and gradually adjust according to digestive tolerance.
 
Magnesium citrate has a greater laxative effect than many bis-glycinate formulas. It may suit people who also experience occasional constipation, but this Canadian product is licensed as a magnesium supplement—not as a treatment for constipation, anxiety or insomnia.
 
HOW TO TAKE IT
Adults 19 years and older: Begin with approximately ½ teaspoon daily and gradually increase to 1–2 teaspoons as needed.
 
To prepare:
Add the powder to a small amount of hot water.
Allow it to fizz, then stir until dissolved.
Add additional hot or cold water and drink.
 
One teaspoon provides 205 mg of elemental magnesium; two teaspoons provide 410 mg. The daily amount may be divided into two servings.
 
At the labelled dose, the 452 g container provides approximately 90–181 days.
 
MEDICATION AND SAFETY CAUTIONS
Magnesium can reduce the absorption of certain medications. Separate it from:
Levothyroxine by at least 4 hours
Tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics by the interval directed by your pharmacist
Bisphosphonate osteoporosis medications by at least 2 hours
Iron, calcium and zinc supplements by approximately 2 hours when optimal absorption is important
 
Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have kidney disease or reduced kidney function. Magnesium can accumulate to dangerous levels when the kidneys cannot remove it effectively.
 
Ask our pharmacist before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take prescription medication or use another magnesium-containing supplement, antacid or laxative.
 
Magnesium citrate commonly causes loose stools, urgency, gas or abdominal cramping. Reduce the serving if this occurs. Stop use and seek medical advice for persistent diarrhea, dehydration, marked weakness, confusion, breathing difficulty or an unusually slow or irregular heartbeat.
 
The Canadian directions are for adults. Do not give this product to a child based only on generalized website guidance; obtain an age- and weight-appropriate dose from a qualified healthcare professional.
 
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is broken.
