Many people don't get enough magnesium through their diet, especially with an active lifestyle, stress, or a plant-based diet. A well- absorbable magnesium supplement , such as magnesium bisglycinate and citrate, is an effective way to support the body daily in addition to your regular diet.

MAGNESIUM - BIS-GLYCINATE & CITRATE (VEGAN)
Magnesium is an essential mineral that the body needs to function properly. It's important for normal muscle function, supports strong bones and teeth, and supports the normal functioning of the nervous system. Magnesium also aids in cell division, supports energy levels, and contributes to increased energy during periods of fatigue.
Many Westerners are deficient in magnesium due to the Western diet. If you exercise a lot, you also lose magnesium through perspiration.

What customers say about Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate
Frequently Asked Questions
Magnesium bisglycinate and citrate: what is the difference, and how much is in each?
Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate combines magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium citrate in a 50/50 ratio: each daily dose of 2 tablets provides 350 mg of elemental magnesium, 94 per cent of the reference intake.
The difference lies in what the magnesium is bound to: bisglycinate is bound to the amino acid glycine, whilst citrate is bound to citric acid, the same acid found in citrus fruits. There is no need to choose between magnesium bisglycinate and citrate: each daily dose provides 175 mg of elemental magnesium from bisglycinate (47 per cent of the reference intake) and 175 mg from citrate (47 per cent).
Are Ekopura’s magnesium tablets vegan, and do they contain any allergens?
Yes, Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate is vegan and registered with The Vegan Society: the tablets contain five ingredients, none of which are of animal origin.
This is the full list of ingredients: magnesium (bisglycinate, citrate), fatty acid salts, microcrystalline cellulose, HPC plant fibres and hydrogenated vegetable oil. The fatty acid salts prevent caking, the cellulose and HPC plant fibres act as fillers, and the vegetable oil acts as a binding agent: four plant-based excipients. Animal-based excipients are sometimes used in magnesium tablets, but not in ours; the product bears the Vegan logo. Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate does not contain any of the fourteen allergens that must be declared by law in the EU. You can find more vegan supplements in our range.

Magnesium for your muscles: what does it contribute to?
In the EU, health claims have been approved for magnesium relating to muscles, protein synthesis and electrolyte balance.
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function.
Magnesium contributes to normal protein synthesis.
Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance.
This applies to the daily dose of 2 tablets of Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate, totalling 350 mg of elemental magnesium. No health claims regarding magnesium and muscle cramps or muscle pain have been approved in the EU. You can combine it with a protein powder from our range; if you also use ‘Ekopura Electrolyte Powder’, please be mindful of your total magnesium intake. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
Other jars say 1000 mg of magnesium and yours says 350 mg. Is that less?
No, not necessarily: our 350 mg is elemental magnesium, whereas 1000 mg elsewhere may refer to the weight of the entire compound.
Elemental magnesium is the amount of pure magnesium in the compound, so those figures do not measure the same thing. If you want to compare two products side by side, compare the same figure for both: how much elemental magnesium a single daily dose provides and what percentage of the reference intake that represents. With Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate, that’s 2 tablets, totalling 350 mg of elemental magnesium, which is 94 per cent of the reference intake.
How much magnesium do you need per day?
For adults the EU reference intake is 375 mg of magnesium per day; that is the value the percentages are calculated against.
That reference covers your whole daily intake, food and supplement together. Two tablets of Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate provide 350 mg of elemental magnesium, 94% of that reference intake; the magnesium from your food comes on top. Keep to the recommended daily amount of 2 tablets and do not take more. Your own need can differ, for example during pregnancy, breastfeeding or when you use medication; talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Read more about how much magnesium you need per day.
How do I know if I have a magnesium deficiency?
You cannot determine for yourself whether you are not getting enough magnesium simply by referring to a list of symptoms.
We therefore do not list any symptoms on this page that might indicate a deficiency: it is up to a doctor to assess the significance of any symptoms. If you are in any doubt, please consult your GP. For general information about magnesium in the diet, please contact the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
How and when should you take magnesium, and can you take it before bed?
Take 2 Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate tablets daily with water after a meal, in the morning or in the evening: and yes, you can also take them before bed.
There’s no need to stick to a fixed time: choose the time that suits you best and do not exceed the recommended daily dose. No health claim regarding magnesium and sleep has been approved in the EU. If you find it difficult to swallow, break the tablet in half or place it lengthways on your tongue, or spread the two tablets over the day: one with breakfast and one with dinner.
How fast does magnesium work, and can you keep using it every day?
There is no set duration for taking magnesium, and yes, it is intended for daily use, to supplement what you get from your diet.
The EU guidelines for magnesium relate to daily intake as a whole, not to a single tablet; you can read more about this under ‘What is magnesium good for?’. We do not specify a time limit after which you should stop taking it; the recommended daily dose of Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate remains 2 tablets after a meal. If you experience persistent symptoms, stop taking it and consult your GP or pharmacist.
How long does one pack of magnesium last?
One pack of Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate holds 90 tablets and 45 servings, so at 2 tablets a day it lasts 45 days.
If you want to compare the price with another magnesium supplement, convert it to a price per daily serving: divide the price by 45 and look at the same thing for the other product, so how many tablets or capsules make up one daily serving and how much elemental magnesium that provides.
Is it possible to take too much magnesium, and can you take it alongside other supplements or medicines?
Yes, you can, especially if you’re also taking a magnesium supplement from another brand or a multivitamin.
Yes, within our range you can combine Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate with any of our products, for example with Omega 3, Vitamin D3 or our protein powders; if you are taking any medication, please consult your GP or pharmacist first. Stick to the recommended daily intake for each product: for us, that’s 2 tablets a day, totalling 350 mg of elemental magnesium. Only ‘Ekopura Electrolyte Powder’ also contains magnesium: 159 mg per 4-gram serving; if you take both on the same day, your total magnesium intake will be 509 mg, so please be mindful of your overall magnesium intake.
Magnesium for children, during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding: what should you bear in mind?
Ekopura Magnesium Bisglycinate & Citrate is intended for adults; requirements may differ for children and during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and this should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
The dosage is intended for adults. Children require a different dose; please consult your GP, pharmacist or child health clinic for advice. We do not specify a dosage for children ourselves.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your midwife, GP or pharmacist before using this product. The full list of ingredients can be found on this page.
