Il s'agit du sel obtenu en liant le magnésium à l'acide citrique, l'acide naturellement présent dans les agrumes. Cette liaison en fait une forme organique, par opposition aux sels inorganiques comme l'oxyde ou le carbonate de magnésium. Le magnésium contribue à une fonction musculaire normale, au fonctionnement normal du système nerveux, à un métabolisme énergétique normal, à des fonctions psychologiques normales et à réduire la fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCette catégorie regroupe uniquement les produits dont la source de magnésium est le citrate: la poudre de citrate de magnésium de NOW Foods, les comprimés de 200 mg de NOW Foods et de LUTO Supplements, les capsules molles de NOW Foods et les formules combinées qui utilisent le citrate parmi leurs sources de magnésium. Sur cette page, nous expliquons ce qui distingue le citrate des autres formes, comment lire la teneur en magnésium élémentaire et comment choisir le format qui convient à votre routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQu'est-ce que le citrate de magnésium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe citrate de magnésium est le sel de magnésium de l'acide citrique. Il se présente sous forme de poudre blanche au goût légèrement acidulé, qui se dissout facilement dans l'eau. Cette solubilité explique sa popularité dans les poudres à diluer et dans les boissons. Sur les étiquettes, il apparaît sous les mentions citrate de magnésium, magnesium citrate ou tri-magnésium dicitrate. La forme est bien documentée et utilisée depuis longtemps dans les compléments alimentaires en Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTeneur en magnésium élémentaire\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUn point important distingue les formes entre elles: la part de magnésium réellement présente dans le sel. Le citrate de magnésium contient environ 16 % de magnésium élémentaire, ce qui signifie qu'un gramme de citrate apporte à peu près 160 mg de magnésium. L'oxyde en contient nettement plus par gramme, le bisglycinate nettement moins. Comparez donc toujours les produits sur la quantité de magnésium élémentaire par dose journalière, indiquée dans le tableau nutritionnel, et non sur le poids du sel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCitrate ou bisglycinate de magnésium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe bisglycinate est une forme chélatée dans laquelle le magnésium est lié à l'acide aminé glycine; il est apprécié pour sa douceur digestive et son goût neutre. Le citrate, lui, est une forme organique soluble qui apporte plus de magnésium élémentaire par gramme que le bisglycinate, ce qui permet des comprimés plus compacts. Le choix relève surtout de la préférence personnelle et de la tolérance. Notre catégorie Magnésium présente les deux formes côte à côte, ainsi que le malate, le taurate et l'oxyde.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePoudre, comprimés ou capsules molles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa poudre de citrate de magnésium de NOW Foods se dose à la cuillère et se mélange dans l'eau ou dans un jus, ce qui convient si vous souhaitez ajuster finement la quantité ou si vous avalez difficilement les comprimés. Les comprimés de 200 mg sont pratiques et faciles à emporter. Les capsules molles contiennent le citrate en suspension dans une base liquide et s'avalent aisément. Le contenu en magnésium élémentaire par dose reste le critère de comparaison, quel que soit le format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuelle quantité de magnésium par jour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa valeur nutritionnelle de référence européenne pour le magnésium est de 375 mg par jour pour un adulte. Les produits de cette catégorie apportent généralement entre 100 et 400 mg de magnésium élémentaire par dose journalière. Vos besoins dépendent de l'âge, du sexe, de l'alimentation et du niveau d'activité physique. Respectez la dose recommandée sur l'étiquette et tenez compte du magnésium apporté par les autres compléments que vous prenez, par exemple une boisson d'électrolytes ou un complexe multivitaminé.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuand prendre le citrate de magnésium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe citrate de magnésium peut se prendre à tout moment de la journée. Beaucoup d'utilisateurs le prennent le soir, d'autres répartissent la dose en deux prises pour un meilleur confort digestif. La prise au cours d'un repas est souvent la mieux tolérée, en particulier avec la poudre. Le plus important est la régularité: le statut en magnésium se construit sur la durée, pas en une seule prise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCitrate de magnésium et sport\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePendant un effort intense, une partie du magnésium est éliminée par la transpiration et les besoins peuvent augmenter avec le volume d'entraînement. Le magnésium contribue à une fonction musculaire normale, à un métabolisme énergétique normal et à l'équilibre électrolytique, ce qui explique sa place dans les formules destinées aux sportifs. Le ZMA MAX de German Elite Nutrition associe ainsi trois formes de magnésium, dont le citrate, au zinc et à la vitamine B6. Le zinc contribue au maintien d'un taux normal de testostérone dans le sang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTolérance du citrate de magnésium\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAux doses recommandées, le citrate de magnésium convient à un usage quotidien et prolongé. À dose élevée, le magnésium peut avoir un effet laxatif, un phénomène connu pour l'ensemble des formes et plus marqué lorsque la dose est prise en une fois. Répartir la prise sur la journée ou réduire la quantité résout généralement la situation. Un complément alimentaire ne remplace pas une alimentation variée et équilibrée.

This combination is no coincidence. It became popular in strength sports, where athletes sought a simple way to supplement three nutrients that are consumed more quickly during intensive training. Since then, ZMA has been a staple on the shelves. These three substances affect many different processes in your body. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and reduces fatigue. Magnesium also contributes to normal protein synthesis and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. Zinc also helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal psychological functions. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells. Zinc, magnesium, and B6 work in different areas but converge around energy, recovery, and the nervous system.

This formula uses not one, but three forms of magnesium side-by-side: magnesium citrate, magnesium bisglycinate, and magnesium oxide. Each form behaves a little differently in your body. Citrate is bound to citric acid and is known for pleasant absorption. Bisglycinate is coupled with the amino acid glycine, a form many find gentle on the stomach. Oxide, on the other hand, provides a lot of elemental magnesium per milligram, allowing for a substantial dose in a small capsule. By combining all three, you are not limited to the properties of a single form but benefit from a blend. Each capsule provides 187.5 mg of magnesium, which is 50% of the daily reference intake. Magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism, which is beneficial during a busy schedule. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal psychological functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne Capsule Per Day, Six Months in a Jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany ZMA products have you taking three capsules a day.

This B6 content is high, well above the daily reference, which is common in this type of formula and corresponds to the role B6 plays in energy metabolism. Many wonder when is the best time to take ZMA. There is no fixed schedule: traditionally, the combination is used in the evening, but since it contains no stimulating substances, you can choose to take the capsule in the morning or evening. A jar contains 180 capsules. At one capsule per day, this lasts approximately six months. Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, which is beneficial during a busy season.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelated form. This means that the magnesium is attached to two glycine molecules, like a protective coat. This keeps the bond stable as it passes through the stomach and intestines. Your stomach generally tolerates it better than simpler forms like magnesium oxide. Magnesium citrate, the second form in this product, on the other hand, dissolves very well in water. By combining these two forms, LUTO Supplements focuses on both digestibility and solubility. For two tablets, you get 150 mg of magnesium bisglycinate and 100 mg of magnesium citrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference with cheaper magnesium forms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium oxide certainly contains a lot of elemental magnesium per gram, but your body absorbs relatively little of it. And it more often causes intestinal discomfort. With magnesium bisglycinate, it works differently. The chelated structure, this bond to glycine, allows the bond to pass through stomach acid intact. In your small intestine, the magnesium is then released and absorbed. This makes it a gentler choice for people with sensitive stomachs. Magnesium citrate complements this because it dissolves quickly and is therefore quickly available. Two forms that complement each other well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat taurine and vitamins provide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the two forms of magnesium, each tablet contains 100 mg of taurine. Taurine is not a classic amino acid, but a sulfur-containing substance naturally present in your muscles and nerve tissue. It plays a role in the water balance of your cells and in the regulation of electrical impulses. Added to this is vitamin B6: it contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to reducing fatigue. And there is also vitamin D3 (25 mcg per two tablets). Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the immune system. These are therefore not arbitrary additions, but ingredients that fundamentally align with magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat magnesium contributes to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal energy metabolism, and normal psychological functions. Moreover, your electrolyte balance also benefits: magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance. For athletes or people who sweat a lot, this is a relevant point. In addition, magnesium helps reduce fatigue and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. And vitamin B6 reinforces this picture, as it also contributes to normal energy metabolism. In short: the composition covers several functions at once.

That sounds abstract, so let's get concrete. The mineral contributes to normal energy metabolism. It contributes to normal muscle function. And it helps reduce fatigue. It's especially the latter that many people notice: when your magnesium levels are too low, you feel it in your energy levels. Magnesium also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function.

Magnesium oxide is cheap and concentrated, but your body absorbs relatively little of it. Magnesium citrate dissolves well in your gastrointestinal tract and is therefore one of the best-absorbed forms. This is precisely why so many people choose citrate when they want to seriously supplement their magnesium intake, without paying extra for forms that, in practice, offer little more. NOW Foods uses a fully reacted citrate here: the magnesium and citrate are completely chemically bound, so it is not just a simple mixture of magnesium oxide and citric acid as in some cheaper products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 400 mg of elemental magnesium means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen comparing magnesium supplements, always pay attention to the word elemental. Magnesium citrate as a compound is only partially made of magnesium; the rest is citrate. A product that highlights 1000 mg of magnesium citrate therefore provides much less actual magnesium than that figure suggests. This label indicates 400 mg of elemental magnesium per 2 tablets, and it is the pure magnesium that truly matters. This way, in a single daily dose, you cover the entire reference intake, which is around 375 mg for adults.

Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system, so many people choose to take it with their evening meal. Taking the product with food also reduces the risk of the slight laxative effect that magnesium can sometimes cause at higher doses. If you prefer to increase gradually, start with 1 tablet of 200 mg per day and increase to the full dose after one week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom these tablets are the best choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose this magnesium citrate if you want a common, well-absorbed form, at the lowest daily price in the NOW Foods range, and if the vegan aspect is important to you: the coating and excipients are entirely plant-based. If you prefer not to swallow tablets, NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate Softgels or pure Magnesium Citrate Powder are suitable alternatives. The tablets are not made with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, or sesame. Many users keep the pot in their cupboard for months, as 250 tablets last a long time, and adjust their daily dose to what they already get from their diet. Thus, magnesium citrate remains a steady and affordable staple that you won't need to reorder anytime soon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49392692265188,"sku":"0733739012920","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Magnesiumcitraat250tabletten.jpg?v=1783952275"},{"product_id":"now-citrate-de-magnesium-en-capsules-molles-180-capsules-molles-now-foods","title":"Magnesium Citrate Softgels | 180 Softgels | NOW Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNOW Foods Magnesium Citrate Softgels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you prefer not to swallow a large, dry magnesium tablet? Then these \u003cstrong\u003emagnesium citrate softgels\u003c\/strong\u003e are a pleasant alternative. Three softgels provide 400 mg of elemental magnesium from four combined forms: citrate, glycinate, malate, and oxide, dissolved in an oil base. This corresponds to 107% of the daily reference intake. The jar contains 180 softgels, providing 60 days of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy combine four forms of magnesium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost magnesium supplements opt for a single form. These softgels deliberately combine four, as each form has its own characteristics. Citrate dissolves well and is well absorbed. Glycinate, magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, is known to be gentle on the stomach and intestines. Malate is bound to malic acid, a compound your body knows from energy metabolism. Oxide provides a lot of magnesium per gram. Together, they form a broader profile than a single-form product, distributing characteristics in terms of absorption and tolerance. Magnesium contributes, among other things, to normal energy metabolism and the normal functioning of the nervous system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoftgel with oil base, the difference from a tablet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four forms are incorporated into liquid rice bran oil within a softgel. NOW Foods states that this liquid release promotes absorption. The practical difference is especially noticeable when swallowing: a smooth softgel glides down more easily than a large, compressed magnesium tablet. These magnesium citrate softgels are therefore the logical choice if you struggle with large tablets. Per daily dose of 3 softgels, they provide approximately 20 kcal and 2 grams of fat, a negligible amount as part of a normal diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use the softgels in practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 3 softgels daily, preferably spread throughout meals, for example, one at breakfast, one at lunch, and one at dinner. A spread intake promotes steady absorption and limits the risk of a slightly laxative effect that magnesium can cause at high doses. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and the reduction of fatigue, and this form makes daily intake a little easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant to know, not vegan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe softgel casing is made from bovine gelatin (BSE-free). These softgels are therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. If you want a fully plant-based alternative from the same brand, opt for NOW Foods' Magnesium Citrate tablets or pure Magnesium Citrate powder. For those who have no objection to gelatin, these softgels offer the broadest magnesium profile in the range. Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, or sesame. The combination of four forms in an oil base makes these softgels one of the easiest ways to get your daily magnesium. You don't have to measure or dissolve anything; you simply take three softgels spread throughout your meals. For those who prioritize consistency over the lowest daily price, this is appreciated. Please note that natural color variation and slight oil separation are normal and do not affect quality in any way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49392693084388,"sku":"0733739012982","price":28.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/magnesiumcitrate.jpg?v=1783952363"},{"product_id":"now-poudre-de-citrate-de-magnesium-227-grammes-now-foods","title":"Magnesium Citrate Powder | 8 oz | NOW Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNOW Foods Magnesium Citrate Powder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want magnesium without fillers, binders, or coatings? Then this \u003cstrong\u003emagnesium citrate powder\u003c\/strong\u003e is the purest solution. The ingredient list mentions exactly one thing: magnesium citrate. A level teaspoon of approximately 3 grams provides 450 mg of elemental magnesium, which is 120% of the reference intake. The jar contains 227 grams, or about 76 doses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA powder with no additives at all\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTablets and capsules always require technical excipients: fillers to create volume, binders to hold the tablet together, and sometimes a coating. A pure powder needs none of this. This product literally contains only one ingredient and nothing else. For those who consciously avoid additives or are sensitive to them, this is a pleasant starting point. The magnesium citrate here is fully reacted: the magnesium and citrate are completely chemically bound; it is not a simple mixture. Per teaspoon, you get 450 mg of elemental magnesium from over 3000 mg of magnesium citrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSelf-dosing, from half a spoon to a full spoon\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe advantage of powder over a tablet is the freedom of dosage. A full teaspoon provides 450 mg of elemental magnesium; half a teaspoon provides 225 mg. This allows you to gradually increase if magnesium is new to you, adapt the intake to what you already get from your diet, or divide the dosage between morning and evening. With a fixed tablet, this is not possible. Magnesium helps reduce fatigue and supports normal muscle function, and with the powder, you decide how much you take.\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to safely dissolve the powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix 1 level teaspoon in at least 230 ml of cold water or another clear, cold liquid. Add the powder slowly while stirring until completely dissolved. This cold liquid is not just a suggestion but a condition: pure magnesium citrate can generate a little heat when it comes into contact with liquid, and a sufficient amount of cold water absorbs this reaction before you ingest it. Once dissolved, you can incorporate the mixture into juice or a smoothie to your taste. Take it once a day, preferably with a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this powder is a good choice for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the powder if you want zero additives, to decide your own dosage, or to avoid swallowing tablets and capsules. It is also entirely vegan and non-GMO. If you prefer a fixed dosage without having to measure, NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate tablets or Magnesium Citrate Softgels are the alternatives. This product is sold by weight, not volume, so the jar may sometimes appear less full than expected. Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, or sesame. For those who want precise control over their intake, magnesium citrate powder offers that control that a fixed tablet does not: you take exactly what you need, dissolve it, and it's ready. This is why experienced users often choose this powder over a capsule. Store it dry and tightly closed; this keeps it free-flowing and easy to dissolve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49392694001892,"sku":"0733739012951","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Magnesiumcitraatpurepoedernowfoods.jpg?v=1783952459"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/collections\/citrate-de-magnesium.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
