However, we cannot assess the specific benefits of Solgar Magnesium Citrate using this data, as it pertains to a different ingredient. For accurate information on magnesium, you should consult the product label or a healthcare provider.
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain strong bone density, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Please note this mechanism applies to calcium, not the magnesium citrate in this product.
