Category: Magnesium dietary supplement.
Choosing this formula
Form and serving size matter. The Nature Made citrate listing provides 250 mg per 2 softgels, not per individual softgel. The Nature's Bounty listings are separate 400 mg softgel and 500 mg tablet options.
How to use
Follow the exact product's serving and frequency. Do not use the bottle count as the number of daily servings. Review magnesium already present in antacids, laxatives, and other supplements.
Before use
Supplemental magnesium may cause diarrhea and abdominal cramping. Kidney disease increases the risk of magnesium accumulation. Magnesium can interfere with some antibiotics and osteoporosis medicines; ask a pharmacist about spacing doses. Ask a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or when managing a medical condition.
Does magnesium citrate mean the same thing as a liquid laxative?
No. This listing is a dietary supplement with its own strength and directions. Do not substitute it for the dose or purpose of a liquid magnesium citrate laxative.
