Biomarkers
Blood Pressure

Moderate evidence shows magnesium citrate can reduce blood pressure and has superior bioavailability compared to other forms. While the studies are promising, more research could further clarify its long-term benefits.

Blood pressure reduction in adults
Adults (34 RCTs, n=2,028); dose 368 mg/day median · Systematic review and meta-analysis of double-blind RCTs
Moderate

Magnesium supplementation (median 368 mg/day for 3 months) reduced systolic BP by 2.00 mmHg (95% CI 0.43–3.58) & 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 & lower BP.

Dose: 368 mgDuration: 3 months
Bioavailability of magnesium citrate vs oxide & amino-acid chelate
Healthy adults (n=46) · Randomized double-blind trial
Moderate

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

Dose: 300 mgDuration: 60 daysForm: Citrate
Foundational bioavailability comparison study; citrate & chelate both outperform oxide.
