Feature Summary
As the second most abundant intracellular cation and a cofactor for at least 600 enzymes, magnesium is a critical regulator of numerous cellular functions, ion channels, signalling pathways, enzymes, and metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and DNA synthesis.1,2 Substantial epidemiological evidence indicates that a low magnesium intake is quite common and associated with diverse pathological conditions, particularly metabolic and inflammatory disorders and markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein and uric acid.3 Low intake of magnesium has also been associated with a greater risk for hypertension, osteoporosis, stroke, poor cognition, and cardiovascular disease.4–8 Magnesium is particularly important to cardiovascular function, influencing myocardial metabolism, calcium homeostasis, vascular tone, peripheral vascular resistance, and cardiac output.2 Supplementation with magnesium has also been shown to support cardiovascular health.9–12
Multiple studies indicate that magnesium citrate has greater bioavailability than other forms of magnesium.13,14 In addition to improving magnesium bioavailability, citrate itself is a mitochondrial substrate (as is malic acid), provides an alkaline load, and chelates dietary oxalates, reducing renal stone formation risk.15,16 Magnesium CitraMal provides fully reacted magnesium, indicating a lack of blended ingredients, and complete binding of magnesium with citrate and malate, associated with greater stability and bioavailability.
