    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question
    • What does magnesium citrate taste like?

      Magnesium citrate typically has a slightly tart or sour taste due to its citric acid content. However, the Natural Factors Big Friends Magnesium Citrate product is specifically flavored with bubble gum to make it more palatable, especially for children. This bubble gum flavor helps mask the natural taste of magnesium citrate, making it easier and more enjoyable to consume.

    • Is it okay to take magnesium citrate daily?

      Taking magnesium citrate daily can be beneficial for many people, especially those with magnesium deficiencies or certain health conditions. Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in numerous bodily functions, and regular supplementation can help maintain optimal levels. However, it's important to adhere to recommended dosages, as excessive magnesium intake can lead to digestive issues or other side effects.

    • What are the health benefits of magnesium citrate?

      Magnesium citrate offers numerous health benefits due to its high bioavailability and important role in various bodily functions. It can help support muscle and nerve function, regulate heart rhythm, maintain bone health, and assist in energy production. Additionally, magnesium citrate may help alleviate constipation, reduce the risk of migraines, and contribute to better sleep quality.

    • Is magnesium citrate hard on the kidneys?

      Magnesium citrate is generally not considered hard on the kidneys for individuals with normal kidney function. The kidneys play a crucial role in regulating magnesium levels in the body, excreting excess magnesium through urine. However, those with kidney disease or impaired kidney function should be cautious with magnesium supplementation, as their ability to process and excrete magnesium may be compromised.

    • Who should not take Natural Factors, Big Friends, Magnesium Citrate?

      While magnesium citrate is generally safe for most people, certain individuals should exercise caution or avoid taking it. This includes people with severe kidney problems, as their ability to process magnesium may be impaired. Additionally, those with heart block, myasthenia gravis, or who are taking certain medications that interact with magnesium should consult before using this supplement.

    • Is magnesium citrate good for sleep?

      Magnesium citrate can indeed be beneficial for sleep. Magnesium plays a role in regulating neurotransmitters that are involved in sleep, such as GABA. It may help promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and improve overall sleep quality. Many people find that taking magnesium citrate before bedtime helps them fall asleep more easily and experience more restful sleep throughout the night.
