Why dispose Magnesium Citrate?

Magnesium citrate (1:1) (1 magnesium atom per citrate molecule), called below by the common but ambiguous name magnesium citrate (which can also mean magnesium citrate (3:2)), is a magnesium preparation in salt form with citric acid. It is a chemical agent used medicinally as a saline laxative and to completely empty the bowel prior to a major surgery or colonoscopy. It is available without a prescription, both as a generic and under the brand names Citromag and Citroma. It is also used in the pill form as a magnesiumdietary supplement. It contains 11.3% magnesium by weight. Compared to magnesium citrate (3:2), it is much more water soluble, less alkaline, and contains 29.9% less magnesium by weight.As a food additive, magnesium citrate is used to regulate acidity and is known as E number E345.

How does magnesium citrate work?

Magnesium is the pure element, however it is not found in nature by itself, it always bonds with another element. So you have many forms of magnesium such as magnesium Aspartate, bicarbonate, Carbonate, Chloride, Citrate, Gluconate, Glycinate, Hydroxide, Lactate, Malate, Orotate, Oxide, Phophate, Picolinate, Propionate, Stearate, Sulfate and Taurate, to name a few. All these different forms have one other element that they are bonded with magnesium + citric acid = magnesium citrate for instance. These different forms of magnesium have two specific qualities A. they have percentage of actual elemental magnesium i.e. how much of the combination is actual pure magnesium e.g. magnesium carbonate is 45% actual magnesium, where as magnesium sulfate is only 10% actual magnesium B. they have a rough percentage of bioavailability (how absorbable and thus useable they are for the body). For instance magnesium citrate is 90% bioavailable and so most of it could be potentially used and absorbed by the body. Magnesium oxide for instance is only 4% bioavailable for the body and so if one took magnesium oxide which had 100mg of actual magnesium in it, there would only be 4mg that the body could possible use. Let me know if this answers your question. Kind Regards, Fifty Pence
