Magnesium citrate (3:2) (3 magnesium atoms per 2 citrate molecules), also called trimagnesium dicitrate, trimagnesium citrate, or the ambiguous name magnesium citrate. The substance magnesium citrate usually has water molecules attached to it. It is a (hydrated) salt of magnesium and citric acid. It is not very soluble in water and has a bitter taste.[1] It contains 16.2% magnesium by weight. However, it can naturally only be available as nonahydrate (with 9 molecules of water to every molecule of Magnesiumcitrate). This hydrated form will only contain 12% magnesium (the metal) on weight base.
