Magnesium citrate for training and everyday life

If you train hard, you lose valuable minerals through sweat. Whether you need additional magnesium depends above all on your diet.

In this product, magnesium is bound to citrate, the salt of citric acid. One capsule provides 150 mg of magnesium.

Your support for training & everyday life:

This mineral is essential for numerous bodily functions:

  • Contributes to normal muscle function.
  • Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
  • Contributes to electrolyte balance.
  • Is important for normal energy metabolism.

Comparison: Which magnesium compound do you need?

There is often uncertainty: citrate, oxide, or bisglycinate? Not every product works the same way. We provide clarity so you can order the right form.

Property GN Magnesium Citrate (this product) Magnesium oxide (standard) Bisglycinate
Form High-quality tri-magnesium dicitrate Inorganic oxide Organic chelate
Absorption Very fast (high bioavailability) Slow (depot effect) Moderately fast & gentle
Focus Muscles & power (sports) Long-term supply Nerves & relaxation
Tolerability Good (at the correct dose) Can feel sluggish Especially gentle
Recommendation The "sprinter" for active people The basic solution The "soft" solution

Expert tip: You don’t tolerate citrate well? Then check the amount and composition first. Our Magnesium Bisglycinate is an alternative, but it is not automatically better tolerated.

Dosage: 150 milligrams per capsule

Many manufacturers play tricks with the "high-dose" claim and add up 3 capsules. We are transparent. We strictly distinguish between the raw material (tri-magnesium dicitrate) and the elemental magnesium it contains.

  • Basic supply (1 capsule): Delivers 150 mg of elemental magnesium. That is often enough to close gaps in your diet and already covers a large part of your daily magnesium requirement.
  • Daily amount: The recommended intake is one capsule a day. For food supplements, the BfR recommends no more than 250 mg of magnesium per daily recommended intake; two or three capsules (300 or 450 mg) are above that.

Purity & quality: 100% vegan all-rounder

We do without bovine gelatin. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a plant-based fiber. This makes the dietary supplement 100% vegan. We also follow a "clean label" strategy: where others use magnesium stearate as an anti-caking agent, we stay as pure as possible.

Why does quality matter?

Only a pure mineral can fulfill its role as an all-rounder in the body. Beyond the muscles, it is essential for:

  • The maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
  • Normal protein synthesis.
  • Normal psychological function and the nervous system.
  • And it has a role in cell division.

Frequently asked questions about Magnesium Citrate

How do magnesium citrate capsules differ from other magnesium supplements?
Citrate is an organic compound that is more soluble in water than inorganic forms such as oxide. In small comparative studies, magnesium from citrate was absorbed better than from oxide. This does not result in a fixed ranking for everyone; what matters is the amount of magnesium per serving and your tolerance.

What is the recommended dosage for magnesium citrate capsules?
For adults, the DGE gives estimated values of 300 mg (women) and 350 mg (men) of magnesium per day; this refers to total intake from food and drinks. The recommended intake is one capsule a day with 150 mg of magnesium. For food supplements, the BfR recommends no more than 250 mg of magnesium per daily recommended intake.

Which magnesium citrate capsules are recommended for athletes?
Whether you as an athlete need additional magnesium depends above all on your diet; sweat losses alone do not result in a fixed additional amount. If supplementation makes sense, one GN capsule already provides 150 mg of magnesium.
