OstroVit Magnesium Citrate

Product overview

OstroVit Magnesium Citrate is a flavoured magnesium powder with raspberry lemonade and mint flavour. It is suitable for anyone looking for an alternative to tablets and who prefers to mix their supplement into a drink. Each daily dose contains 280 mg of magnesium from magnesium citrate, equivalent to 74.7% of the Nutrient Reference Value. The pack contains 200 g and provides 66 servings according to the product information.

OstroVit is the brand behind the product. The source material describes the company's focus as producing food supplements with an emphasis on purity and effectiveness. Here, a familiar mineral is paired with a distinctive flavour profile and a powder format that can easily become part of a daily routine. Raspberry, lemonade and mint give it a fresher character than a neutral mineral powder, while allowing you to mix a serving whenever it suits you.

This is a practical choice for anyone looking to supplement their diet with magnesium and who appreciates being able to drink their supplement rather than swallow a tablet. The product also contains citric acid, flavourings and sweeteners for flavour and formulation. Always read the ingredients list and dosage instructions on the pack before use, particularly if you are sensitive to sweeteners or need to take allergens into account.

Active ingredients & science

The active mineral form is magnesium citrate. The stated daily dose provides 2,000 mg of magnesium citrate, of which 280 mg is magnesium. Magnesium citrate is magnesium bound to citrate, the salt form of citric acid. The mineral is found in many food supplements in various chemical forms, and citrate is one of the options used in products intended to be mixed into a drink. The source data provides no comparative analysis of absorption between different forms, so we make no claims that this particular product is absorbed better than others.

The full quantities of the other ingredients are listed in the ingredient information on the pack.

Benefits & uses

The product's main distinguishing features are its combination of magnesium citrate, powder format and fruity flavour with mint. It may suit a range of everyday situations:

• For those who prefer a drink: The powder is mixed into liquid, which may be a welcome alternative if you do not like taking tablets.
• When you want to establish a regular routine: A serving can be prepared as part of a daily habit. Follow the quantity and instructions on the pack.
• The product may therefore be a way to supplement the diet for people who train or exercise regularly, without replacing a varied diet.
• For those who want a distinctive flavour: Raspberry lemonade with mint gives the powder a different character from neutral alternatives. This may make it easier to choose a drink that suits your taste preferences.
• At home or at work: The powder can be mixed whenever it suits your daily routine. Store and use it according to the instructions on the pack.
• For those comparing mineral products: The amount of magnesium per daily dose is clearly stated: 280 mg, equivalent to 74.7% of the NRV.

This is a food supplement, not a substitute for a varied diet or a healthy lifestyle. It is best suited to those with a specific interest in supplementing their magnesium intake who want a flavoured powder rather than an unflavoured product.

Use & dosage

The product information states that each daily dose provides 280 mg of magnesium and that the pack contains 66 servings. The exact amount of powder per serving and how it should be mixed are not specified in the available dosage information. Therefore, follow the dosage instructions on the pack and do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Mix as instructed on the pack, as the source data does not specify an exact volume of liquid.

Choose a time that works for your routine and try to use the product consistently as directed. The source material gives no recommendation on whether to take it with or without food, or at a particular time of day. If you take medicines or other food supplements and are unsure how they may interact, consult a pharmacist or healthcare professional. Avoid combining several magnesium products without first calculating your total intake.

The pack size is 200 g, and the product information states that it contains 66 servings.

The available source material does not specify certifications, manufacturing standards, independent laboratory testing, specific purity tests or packaging materials. We therefore do not attribute these properties to the product.
