Magnesium citrate can be rough on the gut for some people. If you get loose stools, reduce dose or consider glycinate instead.

Bioavailability of magnesium citrate vs oxide and amino-acid chelate
Moderate
Population: Healthy adults (n=46)
Study type: Randomized double-blind trial
Dose context: 300 mg typical • Duration: 60 days

Magnesium citrate produced the greatest mean serum Mg concentration following both acute and chronic 300 mg/day supplementation, demonstrating superior bioavailability over magnesium oxide and amino-acid chelate preparations.

Citation: Walker AF, Marakis G, Christie S, Byng M. Mg citrate found more bioavailable than other Mg preparations in a randomised, double-blind study. Magnes Res. 2003;16(3):183-91.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14596323/
Foundational bioavailability comparison study; citrate and chelate both outperform oxide.
Blood pressure reduction in adults
Moderate
Population: Adults (34 RCTs, n=2,028); dose 368 mg/day median
Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis of double-blind RCTs
Dose context: 368 mg typical • Duration: 3 months

Magnesium supplementation (median 368 mg/day for 3 months) reduced systolic BP by 2.00 mmHg (95% CI 0.43–3.58) and diastolic BP by 1.78 mmHg (95% CI 0.73–2.82) vs placebo; 300 mg/day for ≥1 month sufficient to raise serum Mg and lower BP.
