Question 1

On the ingredients label, the magnesium is listed as: "Magnesium citrate of which magnesium" Could you explain what that means?

Accepted Answer

Hi Dee,
Magnesium supplements will always consist of magnesium and a form of carrier (in our case this is citric acid), and the fraction of the two that is actually magnesium is known as the ‘elemental’ magnesium portion.  We choose the citrate form of magnesium because it is highly bioavailable (the majority of magnesium is absorbed and utilised by the body) and the citric acid provides additional health benefits. As a substrate for the Krebs cycle, citric acid directly contributes to the release of stored energy.
The elemental fraction of magnesium citrate is approx 16% and therefore, 720mg of magnesium citrate (the adult dose of Neurobalance) will deliver 120mg ‘elemental’ magnesium (32% or your recommended intake).  
In addition, it’s worth noting that our magnesium citrate is ‘fully reacted’ rather than just buffered.  In simple terms, a buffered product consists of magnesium, with citrate added, but without any chemical reaction to join the two.  In contrast a ‘fully reacted’ product will deliver magnesium joined to citrate.  This process of ‘fully reacting’ the two means that the uptake of the magnesium is significantly increased compared to magnesium that is simply buffered with citric acid. Thus, fully reacted magnesium supplements  will be superior in terms of the health benefits they deliver.

Question 2

Received mine today, and these smell really, really strongly of rotting vegetables. Is that normal? The exp. date is 2020.

Accepted Answer

My kid has always called this his ”butt pill” because it smells like ass. Every bottle we buy smells. It helps his ADHD though. He just eats it with peanut butter.

Question 3

Can this supplement be chewed or dissolved in juice?

Accepted Answer

Hi there, the tablets do not dissolve and are not designed to be chewed - the mineral content gives a metallic taste.  The tablets are quite small (about 9mm in diameter and 3mm in depth), but if swallowing is an issue, you could try crushing them to a powder and adding to a flavoured yogurt.
