NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate Pure Powder
Description
NOW Magnesium Citrate Pure Powder is a single-ingredient magnesium citrate powder for adults who want a high, easily adjustable dose of magnesium mixed into a drink instead of taken as a capsule or tablet.
Magnesium citrate is a well-absorbed form of magnesium, and this powder is built around that one ingredient with nothing else added.
Each 1 level teaspoon serving, about 3 g, supplies 450 mg of elemental magnesium (107% Daily Value) from 3,062 mg of magnesium citrate. The 8 oz container provides about 76 servings.
Mix 1 level teaspoon into at least 8 oz of cold water or another cold, clear liquid until fully dissolved, and take once daily with a meal. NOW manufactures this product in an Intertek GMP certified facility and it carries Non-GMO, Vegan, Kosher, and Keto-Friendly certifications, and is not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut, or sesame ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does it need to go in cold water?
NOW specifies dissolving the powder into at least 8 oz of cold water or another cold, clear liquid before drinking, so follow that step rather than mixing it into a hot beverage.
Should I take it with food?
Yes. NOW's suggested use calls for taking the dissolved dose once daily, preferably with a meal.
How does this compare to magnesium citrate capsules or tablets?
The powder delivers a higher 450 mg elemental magnesium dose per serving that dissolves into a drink, while NOW's citrate capsules and tablets are fixed, lower per-unit doses taken as a pill.
Who should check with a doctor before taking this?
NOW recommends this for adults only, and anyone who is pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition should consult a physician before use.
Is this powder keto-friendly?
