Magnesium citrate is a form of magnesium that can help promote regular bowel movements, especially in individuals who are sensitive to magnesium’s natural effects on the digestive tract.*

Magnesium citrate is bound to citric acid and is often used for bowel regularity because it draws water into the intestines to keep things moving smoothly. The glycinate form is typically preferred when the goal is relaxation and nervous system support without gastrointestinal effects.*

The flavors are naturally derived from orange and raspberry, and other natural flavors.

Some people may experience mild loosening of the stool or even diarrhea when taking magnesium supplements, particularly at higher doses. This is mentioned as a possible side effect in the product details for Thorne Magnesium Citrate. If you’re considering magnesium primarily to support regularity or ease occasional constipation, this gentle effect may be beneficial, but it’s important to start with a low dose and increase gradually as needed.*

Everyone’s body is different, and therefore the timeframe can vary depending on your individual health, lifestyle, and the type of supplements you're taking. Some people notice changes in a few days, while for others it may take a few weeks of consistent use. Supplements work gradually to support long-term health.
