Magnesium Citrate Double Strength by Puritan's Pride delivers 200 mg of magnesium per tablet in a bottle of 90 tablets, supporting muscle relaxation and steady nerve signalling. This form speaks to anyone searching for magnesium citrate specifically rather than the harder-to-dissolve mineral salts. It suits people who notice recurring night-time leg tightness or long stretches of nervous tension and want a clearly measured daily amount.
What Is Magnesium Citrate?
Magnesium citrate is a mineral salt formed when magnesium binds to citric acid, the same organic acid that moves through the cell's energy cycle. Magnesium is an essential mineral the body cannot manufacture on its own; most of the body's supply sits in bone and muscle tissue, and the rest must arrive through food or a supplement such as these Puritan's Pride tablets.
Benefits of Magnesium Citrate
- Muscle relaxation: Magnesium helps regulate the contract-and-release cycle in muscle fibre, and low levels are associated with night-time leg tightness.
- Nervous system balance: Magnesium participates in controlling how readily nerve cells fire, and studies link its status to the body's capacity to settle.
- Energy production: Magnesium binds to the ATP molecule inside the cell, and ATP is only biologically active in that magnesium-bound form.
- Bone health: The largest share of body magnesium sits in bone tissue, where it participates in calcium metabolism and vitamin D activation.
- Heart muscle function: Magnesium supports the electrical signal crossing cardiac cell membranes through the sodium and potassium pumps.
- Digestive gentleness: Magnesium citrate draws water into the intestinal lumen, which makes it easier on bowel movement than less soluble magnesium forms.
How Magnesium Citrate Works In The Body
Magnesium acts as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes that move phosphate groups and release energy from ATP. At the neuromuscular junction, magnesium competes with calcium for the channels calcium uses to enter the cell, which quiets the signal telling a muscle fibre to stay contracted. Magnesium also modulates the brain's NMDA receptor, the receptor responsible for raising nerve cell excitability.
What Sets This Formula Apart
The citrate form dissolves far more readily than magnesium oxide, because binding the mineral to citric acid keeps it soluble in the intestinal environment instead of depending entirely on stomach acid to free it. This Puritan's Pride tablet carries 200 mg, an amount that allows the daily intake to be split across more than one time of day rather than concentrated in a single heavy unit.
Who Is This Product For?
- Anyone with recurring night-time tightness in the calf or foot.
- Athletes losing minerals through heavy sweating.
- People whose daily meals are short on leafy greens, nuts and legumes.
- Anyone who did not get on with magnesium oxide and wants a gentler form.
- People moving through long stretches of stress that draw down mineral reserves.
How To Use
Adults take two tablets daily, preferably with a meal. Taking magnesium citrate with food reduces digestive discomfort, and many people choose an evening dose because the mineral is associated with muscle relaxation. Leave roughly two hours between this product and iron or zinc doses, since these minerals compete for the same intestinal pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide?
In magnesium citrate the mineral is bound to citric acid, while in the other form it is bound to oxygen within an oxide molecule. Magnesium citrate is far more water-soluble, which is why it is the usual pick for anyone wanting a form that sits more easily on the stomach.
When should magnesium citrate 200 mg be taken?
There is no obligatory time of day for magnesium citrate 200 mg; consistency of the daily dose with food matters more. Many people prefer the evening because the mineral is associated with muscle relaxation before sleep.
Can magnesium citrate be combined with calcium?
Magnesium and calcium work together in regulating muscle contraction and are usually taken within the same day. Leave at least an hour between them when the calcium dose is high, because the two minerals compete for one absorption pathway.
