Magnesium Effervescent Tablets | 80 Tablets | Lemon Flavour

These Magnesium Effervescent Tablets come 80 to the pack in a lemon flavour, dissolving in a glass of water rather than being swallowed whole. At one tablet a day the pack lasts a little under three months. Magnesium in tablet form can be bulky to swallow, which is the main reason an effervescent version appeals to people who take it regularly.

Taking Magnesium Effervescent Tablets

Drop a single tablet into around 200ml of water and leave it until the fizzing has finished, usually under a minute. Stir and drink. The lemon flavour is clean rather than sweet. Many people take theirs in the evening, though there is no requirement to do so and it can be taken at any point in the day, with or without food.

Authorised nutrition information

Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal muscle function, to normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal protein synthesis, to normal psychological function, to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and to electrolyte balance. These are the authorised statements permitted for magnesium and nothing is claimed beyond them.

How it compares with capsules and flakes

Magnesium is sold in several formats and they are not interchangeable in practice. Capsules are convenient but often need two or three a day to reach a useful amount. Bath flakes are absorbed through the skin and are a different routine entirely. An effervescent drink sits between the two: one serving, taken with water, and nothing to swallow.

Suitability, cautions and storage

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the stated dose. Excessive intakes of magnesium may have a laxative effect, so stay within the recommended amount. Keep the tube capped between uses, as effervescent tablets draw in moisture from the air and will soften once exposed. Store in a dry place out of the reach of young children. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have kidney problems or take prescribed medication, check with a pharmacist or doctor before use.
