Naka Magnesium Citrate 150mg Elemental Magnesium, Supports Muscle Function, Bones and Teeth, 90-220 Capsules

Naka Magnesium Citrate 150mg Details

Naka Magnesium Citrate 150mg delivers 150 mg of elemental magnesium from 975 mg of magnesium citrate in a single capsule — magnesium bound to citric acid, the form most Canadians reach for first because it absorbs well and is the lowest-fuss way to raise magnesium intake. The 150 mg figure is elemental magnesium, the amount your body can actually use, not the weight of the whole compound.

Naka positions it as a highly bioavailable magnesium that helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, proteins and fats, supports the development and maintenance of bones and teeth, aids tissue formation and maintains proper muscle function. Naka also states it helps lower blood pressure, supports heart health, the nervous system and cellular energy production, and has shown effectiveness in relieving muscle cramps, restless leg syndrome, migraines and PMS symptoms. Non-irradiated, gluten-free and GMO-free, made in Canada, in 90 or 220 capsules.

Quick Facts

Who Magnesium Citrate 150mg Is For

• Anyone starting magnesium who wants the most widely used form at a dose they can scale — one capsule, two or three, as their body allows
• People who want magnesium's bowel-moving effect rather than wanting to avoid it — citrate is chosen for exactly that reason
• Shoppers who want a Non-GMO, gluten-free magnesium made in Canada with a four-line ingredient list

Who this product is NOT for: If loose stools are why you stopped taking magnesium before, buy a glycine-bound form instead — Naka Herbs Magnesium Bisglycinate 200mg is built to be absorbed rather than to draw water into the bowel. For the highest elemental magnesium in one pill, Naka Platinum Magnesium Malate 250mg gives 250 mg — and a vegetable capsule, where this shell is bovine gelatin. If swallowing capsules is the obstacle, Naka Magnesium Citrate Calming Powder is the same citrate as a berry drink mix.

Vitamart's Take

Citrate is the magnesium we sell most of, and the reason is honest value: good absorption, a recognisable form and no proprietary blend hiding the dose. At 150 mg elemental per capsule with a label permitting one to three daily, you can run anywhere from 150 mg to 450 mg without buying a different product — unusual, since most magnesium capsules lock you to a fixed serving.

The trade-off is real and we would rather say it plainly: magnesium citrate loosens stools at higher doses, and Naka's own label notes that some people experience diarrhea at three capsules daily. Buying magnesium partly for regularity, that is a feature. Buying it for sleep or cramps with an already sensitive gut, it is a nuisance and bisglycinate is the better purchase. Worth knowing too: the capsule shell is bovine gelatin, Halal certified, not a plant capsule.

How Magnesium Citrate 150mg Compares

Magnesium is sold by what the mineral is bound to, and that binding decides absorption, gut behaviour and how many milligrams fit in a capsule.

• Versus bisglycinate: Naka Herbs Magnesium Bisglycinate 200mg carries more elemental magnesium per capsule and is the gentlest common form on the gut. Citrate absorbs well too, but it holds water in the bowel in a way bisglycinate does not.
• Versus malate: Naka Platinum Magnesium Malate 250mg gives 250 mg elemental in one capsule with 500 mg of malic acid. Citrate is the more flexible dose and the simpler formula.
• Versus the hawthorn version: Naka Herbs Magnesium Citrate with Hawthorn Berry 250mg runs 250 mg of magnesium with hawthorn berry in the formula, for buyers who want the herb too.

Why Citrate Absorbs Well And Still Loosens Stools

These two facts sound contradictory and are not. Magnesium citrate is highly water-soluble, so it dissolves readily in the stomach and presents the mineral in a form the small intestine can take up — that is the bioavailability half of the story. But no magnesium supplement is absorbed completely, and absorption efficiency falls as the dose rises. Whatever is left behind stays in the intestine as dissolved magnesium and citrate, and dissolved particles pull water across the bowel wall by simple osmosis — softer, faster-moving stool.

So the effect is dose-dependent rather than a flaw. One capsule at 150 mg elemental is absorbed efficiently and most people notice nothing; three capsules at 450 mg leaves far more magnesium behind, which is exactly when Naka's label flags diarrhea. If you want the mineral without the osmotic pull, the chelated glycine forms hold magnesium in a complex the gut handles more like an amino acid.

How To Use
