Magnesium citrate is formed by combining magnesium with citric acid. Solgar describes this citrate form as highly absorbable compared with the more commonly available oxide form of magnesium.
Is it safe to take 400mg of magnesium a day?
The UK Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals sets a safe upper level of 400mg a day for supplemental magnesium in adults. The recommended dose of this product, 2 tablets daily, provides exactly this amount, so you shouldn't take more than the stated dose or combine it with other magnesium supplements without medical advice.
How long does a pack of 120 tablets last?
At the recommended dose of 2 tablets a day, one pack of 120 tablets provides a 60-day supply.
