Magnesium Citrate is one of the most readily absorbed forms of magnesium. One serving contains 225 mg of pure magnesium, equivalent to 60 % of the nutrient reference value, and the formula contains nothing but magnesium bound to citric acid. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to optimal muscle and nervous system function, as well as electrolyte balance. It comes as a highly soluble powder. We manufacture it in Germany and we verify its magnesium content by titration.
Magnesium Citrate is a mineral bound to citric acid. This creates an organic form of magnesium that differs from inorganic forms such as magnesium oxide. This bond makes citrate one of the forms of magnesium with high bioavailability.
One 1,5 g serving provides 225 mg of elemental, or pure, magnesium, equivalent to 60 % of the nutrient reference value.1 The formula contains just one ingredient. No fillers, sweeteners, flavourings or anti-caking agents.
We manufacture it in Germany and regularly test it at an independent German laboratory for heavy metals, microbiological quality and active ingredient content.
Magnesium citrate is an organic salt that dissolves in water with virtually no residue, unlike inorganic forms. This dissolved, ionised form is the one the body can use most effectively.
A systematic review of 14 studies on magnesium bioavailability reached a clear conclusion. Organic forms are absorbed better than inorganic forms.3 In a direct comparison of three forms of magnesium at a daily dose of 300 mg for 60 days, the citrate group showed the highest serum magnesium levels, both after the first dose and after two months.2
Citrate is also an intermediate in the Krebs cycle, the pathway through which every cell in the body obtains energy from nutrients. The body is therefore familiar with citrate and knows how to use it, as it constantly produces and consumes it.
Magnesium is a mineral involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body.4 It plays a part in how muscles and nerves work, how the body uses energy and how it handles exertion.
For example, it contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, supports normal muscle and nervous system function and contributes to normal psychological function. It also contributes to electrolyte balance, helping maintain the right levels of important ions such as sodium, potassium and magnesium itself.
In addition, it supports normal energy metabolism, contributes to normal protein synthesis, helps maintain normal bones and teeth and plays a role in the process of cell division.1
The time of day is more a matter of personal routine than necessity. Some people take it in the evening because magnesium supports normal muscle and nervous system function.1 Citrate does not have to be taken with food, but if you are more sensitive, it is best to take it after a meal or split the serving into two portions throughout the day.6
At higher doses, magnesium may compete with calcium for absorption, as both minerals use similar transport pathways in the intestine. If you take tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, take magnesium at least two hours before or four to six hours after them, as they can form complexes with magnesium that reduce absorption of the medicine.7 Take similar precautions with bisphosphonates used to treat osteoporosis.7 If you take any medication regularly, consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting magnesium supplementation.
Take magnesium over the long term, ideally for several weeks, to experience the benefits described above. The body replenishes its magnesium stores gradually, so the full benefits of supplementation will not be apparent immediately after the first serving.
Laboratory-Verified Content
For food supplements, transparency throughout the process, from the raw material to the finished powder, is essential. Here are five things we do differently with Magnesium Citrate:
- We manufacture the powder in Germany at an IFS-certified facility with an established HACCP system.
- We determine the magnesium content by titration, a precise analytical method that measures how much magnesium the powder actually contains, rather than how much it should contain according to the formulation. This gives you confidence that you receive the amount stated on the label.
- The product is tested by an independent German laboratory for heavy metal content and microbiological purity. In the latest analysis, lead was at one percent of the legal limit, while cadmium was below the limit of quantification.
- We publish test reports dating back to 2022. These are not one-off tests for the product launch, but repeated checks across batches. You can find them right here on this page in the Laboratory Tests section.
- There is just one ingredient: magnesium salts of citric acid, and the product is suitable for vegans.
Who Is Magnesium Citrate Suitable For?
- Athletes and physically active individuals who value support for normal muscle function during regular training.
- Endurance athletes, runners and HYROX participants whose intense sweating increases their need to replenish electrolytes, including magnesium.
- People with demanding work or study schedules who value help with reducing tiredness and fatigue, as well as support for normal psychological function.
- People with unbalanced or restricted diets who do not meet their recommended magnesium intake from common sources such as whole grains, pulses or nuts.
- Users of GLP-1 products who are looking for an easy way to supplement their magnesium intake as their eating habits change.
- Anyone who dislikes swallowing capsules. Simply stir the powder into a glass of water, and you are ready to go.

Recommended Daily Magnesium Intake
- According to European guidelines (EFSA), the recommended daily magnesium intake is 350 mg for men and 300 mg for women.5
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women have slightly higher requirements. We recommend consulting a doctor about the appropriate dose.
- Athletes and people under significant physical or mental strain are estimated to need 10 to 20 % more magnesium than people with low levels of physical activity, due to magnesium losses through sweat. This corresponds to approximately 385 to 420 mg per day for men and 330 to 360 mg for women.6
- One third of a scoop (1,5 g) provides 225 mg of elemental magnesium, equivalent to 60 % of the nutrient reference value. You can adjust the dose according to your physical activity level and total dietary intake.

Verified purchase5/27/2026
Please appreciate the packaging and labeling of the parcel; it seems like a safe product and it absorbs well. However, I do not recommend magnesium citrate in any form, because it has a significant laxative effect, even with a small dose. This makes the supplement impossible to take daily without stool-related issues. I would recommend this form of magnesium only for use as a laxative.

FAQ
The recommended daily dose for GymBeam Magnesium Citrate is 1.5 grams, which corresponds to one-third of a scoop. To prepare, mix the powder with 300 ml of water and consume it once per day. It is important not to exceed this stated maximum daily dose.
GymBeam Magnesium Citrate can be taken daily, with a recommended intake of 1.5 grams that should not be exceeded. This product is not intended for use by children, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking it. If you have any pre-existing health conditions or are on other medications, speak with your healthcare provider before starting a daily regimen.
Each 1.5 g serving of GymBeam Magnesium Citrate is formulated to support the body's normal functions. Magnesium contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous system and the psyche. By supporting these systems, it plays a role in maintaining psychological balance. The product provides 225 mg of magnesium per dose, which is involved in many biological processes essential for overall wellness. It is not intended to treat or prevent any medical condition.
GymBeam Magnesium Citrate is suitable for a vegan diet. The formula is also gluten-free, lactose-free, and sugar-free. Additionally, the product is formulated without many common allergens, including soy, eggs, nuts, and peanuts. For a complete list of ingredients and any specific allergen warnings, you can review the product's packaging.
GymBeam Magnesium Citrate is supplied as a well-soluble, unflavored powder, not in capsule form. The product is a single-component supplement designed to provide magnesium in citrate form. Each recommended daily serving of 1.5 grams of the powder delivers 225 mg of active magnesium.
GymBeam Magnesium Citrate is an unflavored, single-ingredient powder, and its characteristic taste is inherent to the raw material itself. This compound, which consists of micronutrient salts of citric acid, naturally possesses a slightly bitter or sour flavor profile. Since the formula is free from added sugars or artificial sweeteners, this taste can be noticeable when mixed with water. To improve palatability, you can mix the 1.5 g serving with juice or a flavored sports drink instead of plain water.
If your GymBeam Magnesium Citrate powder has hardened from moisture, it can often be restored for normal use. You can typically break up the clumps inside the container using a clean, dry utensil. For larger hardened masses, carefully transferring the product to a blender and pulsing it for a few seconds can help return it to its original powdered form. This physical change does not impact the product's usability, provided it has been stored properly and shows no signs of contamination.
