Magnesium Citrate
Guides and comparisons Multivitamins: how to compare daily vitamin & mineral formulas
Magnesium citrate on this shelf comes as tablets, capsules and powders, some combined with vitamin B6 or other minerals. A label can print two numbers that look alike: the weight of the magnesium citrate compound (for example 2,667 mg) and the magnesium it contains (400 mg); compare the magnesium line. The serving is also not always one unit: it can be two tablets, three capsules or a scoop. The table below prices three products per 100 mg of declared magnesium, the same unit as the magnesium glycinate comparison; it is a unit price for comparing labels, not a dose.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between "magnesium citrate 2,667 mg" and "magnesium 400 mg" on a label?
The first is the weight of the compound (magnesium bound to citric acid), the second is the magnesium itself. One capsule label in the table, for example, lists 400 mg of magnesium from 2,667 mg of magnesium citrate per 3 capsules. Compare the magnesium line.
Can I compare magnesium citrate with magnesium glycinate by price?
Yes, on the declared magnesium. Both comparison tables price 100 mg of magnesium, so the figures can be read side by side. The compound bound to the magnesium differs; the tables do not rank them.
Why do serving sizes differ so much between products?
One product counts two tablets as a serving, another three capsules, another a 4.2 g scoop of powder. The price per serving and the magnesium per serving are therefore not comparable until you look at both; the table shows them next to the unit price. Follow each label's own serving and maximum.
