What it is: Effervescent Magnesium Citrate is a vegetarian, gluten-free, lemon-lime flavored effervescent drink mix developed by DaVinci Labs, delivering 420 mg of Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate) — 100% of the daily value — alongside 390 mg of Potassium (as Potassium Bicarbonate) and 8 mg of Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) per serving, in a naturally carbonating powder that dissolves in water to create a pleasant, fizzy beverage. Magnesium Citrate is among the most bioavailable and gastrointestinally well-tolerated forms of magnesium supplementation, providing superior solubility and absorption compared to inorganic magnesium salts. The inclusion of Potassium Bicarbonate provides synergistic cardiovascular and bone health benefit alongside magnesium — the two minerals working in complementary physiological roles for healthy blood pressure maintenance and muscle function. Designed for practitioner-directed use as an evening magnesium repletion formula, the effervescent format provides an enjoyable, compliance-friendly alternative to magnesium capsules or tablets for clients who prefer or require a beverage-based supplement delivery.
How it works: Effervescent Magnesium Citrate supports cardiovascular, bone, neurological, muscular, and metabolic health through magnesium's essential and irreplaceable cofactor role in over 350 enzymatic reactions — more than any other mineral — spanning ATP energy production, DNA synthesis, protein biosynthesis, calcium channel regulation, and insulin receptor signaling. As the essential cofactor for ATP synthase — the mitochondrial enzyme producing the cellular energy currency adenosine triphosphate — magnesium is indispensable for energy production in every cell of the body, with inadequate magnesium directly impairing cellular energy availability and contributing to fatigue and reduced physiological function. Magnesium Citrate supports healthy cardiac rhythm through its calcium channel antagonist activity in cardiac muscle cells, promotes blood pressure regulation within normal ranges through vasodilatory and sympathetic nervous system-modulating mechanisms, and synergizes with Potassium Bicarbonate — a key intracellular cation for vascular smooth muscle relaxation — to provide complementary cardiovascular mineral support. For bone health, magnesium supports osteoblast function, hydroxyapatite crystal formation, and the activation of Vitamin D to its hormonal form calcitriol, while approximately 60% of total body magnesium is stored in the skeletal matrix. Neurologically, magnesium blocks NMDA glutamate receptor overactivation to prevent excessive neuronal excitability, reducing nerve hypersensitivity and supporting healthy sleep onset and quality — with magnesium deficiency strongly associated with insomnia, heightened stress reactivity, and muscle tension. Riboflavin (8 mg, 615% DV) provides the FAD and FMN coenzyme forms essential for mitochondrial energy metabolism and cellular antioxidant regeneration, complementing magnesium's ATP-generating activity.
When to use it: Effervescent Magnesium Citrate is appropriate for practitioner-directed use in adult clients requiring comprehensive magnesium repletion for cardiovascular health, bone density support, sleep quality improvement, muscular relaxation, neurological calm, and glucose-insulin metabolic support. The effervescent format and pleasant lemon-lime flavor support compliance in clients who find capsule-based magnesium supplementation inconvenient or difficult. Evening dosing is specifically recommended to leverage magnesium's neurological calming and sleep-onset supporting properties at the most clinically relevant time, and to support the natural nocturnal hormonal environment for bone mineral accretion. One scoop (6.88 g) mixed in water preferably in the evening before bed provides the full 420 mg Magnesium Citrate daily serving.

Key Ingredients
Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate) — 420 mg Magnesium Citrate is an organic magnesium salt formed by the combination of magnesium with citric acid, recognized as one of the most bioavailable and gastrointestinally well-tolerated forms of supplemental magnesium due to its superior aqueous solubility and efficient intestinal absorption compared to inorganic magnesium salts such as magnesium oxide or magnesium sulfate. As an essential cofactor for over 350 enzymatic reactions — more than any other mineral in human physiology — magnesium governs ATP synthase-mediated cellular energy production, DNA and RNA synthesis, protein biosynthesis, calcium channel regulation in cardiac and smooth muscle, NMDA receptor modulation in neuronal tissue, and insulin receptor substrate phosphorylation for glucose metabolism. At 420 mg per serving delivering 100% of the daily value, this formula provides a therapeutically meaningful magnesium dose to support healthy cardiac rhythm through calcium channel antagonism in cardiomyocytes, blood pressure regulation within normal ranges through vascular smooth muscle relaxation and sympathetic nervous system modulation, bone mineral density through osteoblast function and hydroxyapatite crystal matrix formation, sleep quality through NMDA receptor-mediated neurological calming and melatonin synthesis support, and muscular relaxation through the calcium displacement mechanism that governs the actin-myosin cross-bridge cycling underlying muscle contraction and relaxation.
Potassium (as Potassium Bicarbonate) — 390 mg Potassium Bicarbonate is an alkaline, highly bioavailable potassium salt that delivers potassium — the primary intracellular cation in human physiology — in a bicarbonate-buffered form that additionally contributes to systemic acid-base balance, providing mild alkalizing activity that may support bone mineral retention by reducing the renal excretion of calcium that occurs under chronically acidic dietary conditions. Potassium's primary physiological roles include maintenance of the cellular membrane electrical potential through the sodium-potassium ATPase pump, support for vascular smooth muscle relaxation and healthy blood pressure regulation within normal ranges through its vasodilatory counterbalance to sodium's vasoconstrictor activity, and cardiac conduction support through its essential role in action potential repolarization in cardiac muscle cells. The synergistic pairing of 420 mg Magnesium Citrate and 390 mg Potassium Bicarbonate within this formula reflects the well-established clinical evidence that combined magnesium and potassium supplementation provides superior cardiovascular blood pressure support compared to either mineral alone.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) — 8 mg Riboflavin is an essential B-vitamin that serves as the precursor for FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) and FMN (flavin mononucleotide) — the two coenzyme forms required as electron carriers in the mitochondrial electron transport chain and as cofactors for over 100 oxidoreductase enzymes involved in cellular energy metabolism, fatty acid oxidation, and antioxidant regeneration. Within the context of this magnesium formula, Riboflavin provides complementary mitochondrial energy metabolism support — directly participating in the ATP production cascade that magnesium's ATP synthase cofactor activity facilitates — while simultaneously supporting the regeneration of glutathione reductase activity that maintains cellular antioxidant capacity. At 8 mg per serving (615% DV), Riboflavin provides a therapeutically meaningful dose above typical dietary intake, ensuring adequate FAD and FMN coenzyme availability to support the full mitochondrial and metabolic benefit of this formula's comprehensive mineral energy and cardiovascular support matrix.
