Product overview
Magnesium is a crucial mineral the body simply cannot function without, yet most people aren't getting enough of it. Therapure’s my pure mag citrate delivers this essential nutrient in the highly bioavailable citrate form - a version of magnesium that the body readily absorbs and that gets to work fast. From keeping energy levels steady throughout the day to helping cardiac and skeletal muscles work optimally, this everyday nutritional powerhouse offers support your body will thank you for!
- 150mg elemental magnesium per capsule in the highly absorbable citrate form
- Superior gastrointestinal absorption for use throughout the body vs some other forms of magnesium
- Citrate is a necessary ingredient in the body’s energy production pathway (the Krebs cycle), supporting ATP production for daily vitality
- Supports healthy muscle contraction and relaxation by regulating mineral ion exchange across the cell membrane
- Ideal for post-exercise recovery, muscle tension and mind & body relaxation
Why magnesium matters?
This mineral is the quiet workhorse behind hundreds of processes that keep the body ticking. It's deeply involved in how cells generate energy, how the nervous system stays regulated, and how the heart maintains a steady rhythm. Muscle fibres rely on it to contract and release properly. Blood vessels need it to stay relaxed and responsive. Even blood sugar control has magnesium woven through it, since the mineral plays a direct role in how the body responds to insulin.
But despite its importance, magnesium deficiency remains one of the most common nutritional deficiencies of modern life, as standard diets are typically low in this important mineral. This is where supplementation with a well-absorbed form is genuinely worthwhile.
Magnesium citrate: a form that works harder
Not all forms of magnesium are created equal. Magnesium citrate is the result of magnesium ions binding with citric acid, delivering a highly soluble compound that is easily and efficiently absorbed into the bloodstream for access to cells. The citrate form of magnesium delivers many benefits throughout the system – including:
-
Bowel regularity – at higher doses, magnesium citrate offers a gentle osmotic effect, helping draw water into the large intestine to support movement in a sluggish bowel
-
Energy production – magnesium and citric acid together are direct precursors for ATP synthesis, the energy currency inside cells, as part of the Krebs cycle to support vital energy production.
-
Systemic alkalinity – citrate is metabolised in the body to bicarbonate, which acts as a natural buffer to help maintain a healthy acid-base balance, supporting the slightly alkaline internal environment that cells function best in.
