This is the smaller of the two tubs Cabot Health makes in this citrus magnesium powder — a 200g size for anyone trying the blend for the first time, or who simply gets through a tub before it goes stale on the shelf.
Each 5g teaspoon carries 400mg of elemental magnesium, drawn from four forms — amino acid chelate, ascorbate, glycinate dihydrate and phosphate pentahydrate — plus taurine and 5mg of zinc amino acid chelate. The citrus flavour comes from malic acid, acacia, stevia and natural lemon and lime flavour, and it is meant to be stirred into a glass of water or juice rather than swallowed as a tablet, which is the point of buying a powder over capsules in the first place.
Keep the moisture-absorbing sachets in the tub once it is open. The powder can harden if it takes on damp air, though it still works fine if that happens.
Directions
Adults: 1/4 to 1 teaspoon daily, added to water or juice. Children: 1/4 teaspoon daily, added to water or juice.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Leave the moisture-absorbing sachets in the tub after opening.
Warnings
Excessive doses may have a laxative effect. Take magnesium at least two hours before medicines that may interact with it, including bisphosphonates, quinolone antibiotics and skeletal muscle relaxants. Use caution with blood pressure medicines such as calcium channel blockers and consult your healthcare practitioner. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare practitioner. Always read the label and use only as directed.
