Calcium Citrate
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, making up around 2% of an adult’s total body weight. It plays an important role in many bodily functions including the maintenance and formation of strong teeth and bones. It is also necessary for the proper functioning of muscles, nerves, and cells and helps regulate blood pressure, heart rate and blood clotting processes. Almost all calcium (99%) is stored in the bones with just 1% found in muscles, blood, and other tissue. It is absorbed in the small intestine and requires vitamin D to help regulate calcium levels in the blood.
Calcium can be obtained through diet or supplements. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yoghurt are all good sources of calcium and other sources include green leafy vegetables, nuts, and fish with edible bones.
Calcium citrate is the calcium salt of citric acid and is commonly used as a dietary supplement to help maintain bone health. It is more easily absorbed by the body making it ideal for those who have difficulty absorbing other forms of calcium. It is often used to help treat conditions such as osteoporosis, hypocalcemia, and hyperparathyroidism.
In the UK, the recommended nutrient intake (RNI) for Calcium is 700mg/day for both men and women. While the levels vary depending on age, the British Nutrition Foundation suggestions can be found in table 1.

Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body. It helps to regulate more than 300 enzymatic reactions, including protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. It’s crucial for bone health and development, as well as muscle contraction and nerve function. Magnesium also plays a role in converting food into energy, helping to maintain normal blood sugar levels, and regulating blood pressure. More than half of magnesium is stored in bone and the rest is found in soft tissues throughout the body.
Magnesium is present in a wide range of foods, including green leafy vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes. It is also available in a variety of different forms as a supplement. Magnesium Citrate is a form of magnesium that’s bound with citric acid. It is easily absorbed and is great for those with rectal or colon issues due to its natural laxative effect.
In the UK, the recommended nutrient intake (RNI) for magnesium is 300 milligrams/day for men and 270 mg/day for women. While the levels vary depending on age, the British Nutrition Foundation suggestions can be found in table 1.
