Cyto Matrix Magnesium Citrate-Malate 150mg 120 Veggie Caps

150mg of elemental magnesium per capsule, delivered in a citrate salt for kidney health.

Kidney stones are more commonly found in males than females, with estimates suggesting that 1 in 10 males will experience at least one in their lifetime. The development of kidney stones is influenced by multiple factors, including modifiable risk factors such as inadequate fluid intake, high consumption of oxalate-containing foods, and high intake of animal products. Research indicates that magnesium citrate supplementation may be beneficial for individuals concerned about kidney stone formation.

Magnesium citrate is a widely used form of supplemental magnesium. As a salt complex, it requires stomach acid to break down and release the magnesium ion. It is recognized for its cost efficiency, digestive tolerability, and enhanced bioavailability compared to magnesium oxide. Additionally, magnesium citrate has been studied for its role in maintaining urinary health.

Citric acid has been shown to influence calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate crystal formation. For this reason, individuals with a history of calcium-based kidney stones may consider magnesium citrate supplementation as part of their nutrition choices. Research also suggests that supplemental magnesium, including non-citrate forms, may play a role in regulating urinary oxalate excretion when taken with meals and contribute to overall magnesium balance in the body.

Magnesium Citrate-Malate by Cyto-Matrix provides 150mg of elemental magnesium per capsule in a citrate salt complex. Magnesium malate is included for its role in cellular energy production. Each bottle contains 120 vegetarian capsules.
