What Magnesium Citrate+ is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80124629. The licence also lists:

- Helps to maintain the body's ability to metabolize nutrients.
- A factor in the maintenance of good health.
Two forms of magnesium in one capsule
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions, including the ones that release energy from food and let muscles contract and relax. Supplements bind it to a carrier, and this formula uses two.
Magnesium citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid, the organic acid that gives citrus fruit its tartness. Di-magnesium malate binds magnesium to malic acid, which occurs naturally in apples and other fruit. The malate here comes from Albion, a mineral maker owned by Balchem.
At 150 mg per capsule, Citrate+ is the strongest capsule in CanPrev's magnesium lineup, so 1 or 2 capsules cover the label dose. The other ingredients are glycine, hypromellose (the plant-based capsule) and magnesium stearate. CanPrev lists it as vegan and GMO-free, with no gluten, dairy, soy, wheat, yeast, sugar, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
How it compares with CanPrev's other magnesium
| CanPrev magnesium | Magnesium per capsule | Form |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium Threonate | 50 mg | Magnesium L-threonate |
| Magnesium Full Spectrum | 100 mg | Bisglycinate, malate, L-threonate and aspartate |
| Magnesium Citrate+ | 150 mg | Citrate and malate |
CanPrev's Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 and 400 use the bisglycinate form on its own. Choose Citrate+ when you want a higher amount of magnesium per capsule from citrate and malate. Choose Full Spectrum for four forms in one capsule, or Threonate for the L-threonate form alone.
How to take it
Adolescents and adults 9 and over take 1 capsule, 1 to 2 times a day. Keep it out of reach of children. The full directions are under How to Take.
