Taurine sits alongside four different magnesium compounds in this citrus powder — amino acid chelate, ascorbate, glycinate dihydrate and phosphate pentahydrate — combining to 400mg of elemental magnesium in each 5g teaspoon. Zinc amino acid chelate is included too, at 5mg a dose.
It is built as a drink rather than a capsule: stir the measured teaspoon into a glass of water or juice, and the citrus flavour, carried by malic acid, acacia, stevia and natural lemon and lime flavour, makes that a reasonably pleasant habit rather than a chore. The 465g tub is the larger of the sizes Cabot Health offers, so it suits anyone who has already settled on this blend and is buying for ongoing use rather than trying it for the first time.
Moisture is the one thing to watch — the powder can harden if the sachets are removed or the lid left off, though it stays effective either way.
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.
