Magnesium Citrate Powder

What is Magnesium Citrate Powder?

Magnesium citrate is a common magnesium supplement made from a combination of salt and citric acid,. It is considered to have high absorption and bioavailability. Magnesium citrate is commonly used to relieve constipation because it increases water content in the intestines and promotes bowel movements. It is more gentle and effective in acting as a laxative than other forms of magnesium supplements. Magnesium citrate is effective in reducing muscle spasms and cramps, especially in athletes and manual laborers.

Benefits:

Promote Digestion

Magnesium Citrate can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and accelerate the digestion and absorption of food. For patients with indigestion, magnesium citrate is undoubtedly an ideal medication to improve digestion.

Relieves Constipation

The chemical structure of magnesium citrate gives it water-absorbing properties. Since magnesium and citric acid each have atoms with opposite charges, when the two are ingested together, they produce an osmotic effect in the digestive system. This phenomenon encourages water to enter the intestines smoothly and be absorbed by the feces, thus lubricating the intestines and softening the feces, making it smoother during excretion.

Maintains Muscle and Nervous System Function

Magnesium is an electrolyte that is particularly important for muscle and nerve cells, so using magnesium citrate can provide benefits such as promoting relaxation, improving sleep quality, and helping to relieve stress. In addition, magnesium citrate can help fight muscle spasms, pain, and discomfort because it helps to relax contracted muscles. In this regard, other types of magnesium (such as magnesium glycinate, magnesium sulfate, or magnesium chloride oil) tend to have similar effects.

May Help Prevent Kidney Stones

High calcium levels in the urine may lead to kidney stones. It is estimated that high urinary calcium is a cause of up to 80% of kidney stone cases. Calcium and magnesium work together to maintain balance, and magnesium may reduce calcium accumulation, thereby maintaining kidney health. Magnesium citrate may be used to prevent kidney problems.

Benefits of Cardiovascular and Bone Health

Magnesium, an essential mineral, is vital for maintaining bone density, normal heart rhythms, lung function, and healthy blood sugar levels. Maintaining adequate levels of magnesium helps to maintain normal blood pressure and heartbeat rhythms, thereby preventing problems such as high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias. Magnesium deficiency may lead to alterations in metabolism and circulation, which in turn increases the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and osteoporosis.

In addition, magnesium aids in the proper absorption of vitamin D, which is important in the prevention of osteoporosis/fragile bones, decreased immunity, and many diseases. Together, vitamin D, magnesium, calcium and vitamin K are involved in regulating bone metabolism and maintaining bone density.

High Hydrolysis Rate

Citric acid has a high rate of hydrolysis, which is even higher in acidic environments (e.g. stomach acid).  Citrate has another role as an intermediate metabolite in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Magnesium citrate has a significant absorption advantage, with serum magnesium ion levels significantly elevated within 4 hours of oral administration.

Applications:

For Healthcare Products:

As an important source of magnesium supplementation, Magnesium Citrate Powder can provide the body with the magnesium it needs to maintain nerve and muscle excitability and boost the body's metabolism. In addition, magnesium citrate can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which aids in the digestion and absorption of food and is remarkably effective in relieving indigestion and other problems.

In Pharmaceutical:

As a saline light laxative, magnesium citrate is often used to empty the bowel before surgery to help patients undergo a smooth procedure. In addition, magnesium citrate is effective in treating constipation and colon cancer and is also useful in relieving diseases associated with rectal cancer. It is worth mentioning that magnesium citrate is also effective in preventing kidney stones, which provides strong protection for people's kidney health.

In Cosmetics:

In the cosmetics industry, magnesium citrate is often used as a moisturizer and antioxidant, helping to improve the skin's moisture content and fight free radical damage.
