Magnesium is a mineral that is critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization. It is a required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes. Among the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. Magnesium status is also important for regulation of calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland.
This Magnesium Citrate is a fully reacted mineral supplement.

These pills are MASSIVE. If you have even the slightest difficulty with taking large pills, these aren’t for you. Take a typical multivitamin and multiply the size x2. They aren’t scored so I can’t break them in two either. Coming from a peron who can swallow a few pills at a time, this pill is a struggle all it’s own. I’ll be looking for a smaller size next time.

I love these things! I am intolerant to many, many foods and as a result, I’m on a very restricted diet. I have had negative reactions to many brands of supplements due to corn, soy, yeast, hidden ingredients, etc. But this product is great and free of those and many more allergens. I’ve been taking this for several months now and I feel much better and healthier than before taking it. It helps to fill some of the gaps in my restricted diet. I take other Now products and trust their labeling and potency. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good mag citrate supplement. It really works for me!

NOW brand is a highly trusted brand, which has been in existence for a very good while. There are supplements popping up all over the place (companies I’ve NEVER heard about). If something is going into MY body, it will be from a KNOWN and TRUSTED brand. Yes, the tablets are large, but the price is reasonably affordable. I come from the camp where the “affordable” means alot.
By the way, has anyone heard of a Pill Splitter (that cuts the tablets in half and costs a few dollars)? Heck, you can do it yourself with a sharp knife. Very easy, just be careful of course. I do not split my McCitrate tablets, but if I decide to, I’d rather do that than pay alot more, take triple the pills, and be stressed out about a brand I’ve never heard of. Thanks to NOW I don’t have to.

These are a great buy, but I feel the size and hardness of the pills are unsafe. I find myself wondering lately when I’m going to have a serious choking episode, and whether or not I will live. I share my bottle with my 81-year-old mother, and I decided today that I don’t feel comfortable giving these to her anymore. I will start buying the capsules by the same brand, which are a little more pricy, but worth the peace of mind.

I have purchased a number of NOW products with much satisfaction. I have used NOW’s Magnesium Citrate for several years to help with bowel movement. (TMI…sorry) I am used to seeing a blue top with dispenser lid. The recent bottle was a white screw top. The tablets/pills appear to be the same; ( a bit large), but not an issue for me. Seems like NOW should issue a notice of a packaging change. Perhaps I missed it. I can understand other’s concerns.
Amazon Customer –
Dissreguard the comments of dire warning of this being fake. People need to do their due dilagence and not rush to conclusions. They are saying that because the cap is now white (not purple) and the pills are a bit larger it’s a fraud. I’ve uses NOW for years so I called customer support at NOW. They said they recently changed the bottle opening size to accommodate the filling with slightly larger pills and use a white larger cap. They also said that they have had litterally no trouble with fake/fraud NOW products on the web BUT they know this false belief is rampant. They mentioned Amazon has done a fantastic job of keeping fake supplements out by rigorous standards of suppliers. Call for yourself. You’ll be one of many.
Supplement: I’m taking this to help lower blood pressure. I have seen some results already. It did cause bowel trouble for me so I cut the pills and take a half at meals and bed time. That fixed the problem.
