Everything you need to know about the product: Magnesium Citrate Capsules
Magnesium for muscle relaxation?
Magnesium is an essential mineral and indispensable for all organisms. Even plants can suffer from magnesium deficiency, as their green leaf substance, chlorophyll, is composed of about two percent magnesium in a healthy state. The body of an adult human contains approximately 20 g of magnesium.
The mineral plays an essential role in numerous metabolic processes and is involved as a coenzyme or enzyme component in hundreds of enzyme reactions. Free magnesium ions also play an important role as secondary messengers in the human immune system and stabilize the resting potential of cells in muscles and nerves.
If you frequently suffer from muscle cramps, such as calf cramps, then the calcium to magnesium concentration in your body is probably too high. Magnesium relaxes the muscles by reducing the influx of calcium and thus the tendency to cramp.
What are the symptoms of magnesium deficiency?
If magnesium requirements are not adequately met over a prolonged period, a number of symptoms can arise that are not exclusively attributable to a magnesium deficiency, as magnesium is involved in numerous functions. Nervousness and irritability may occur on the one hand, as well as fatigue, weakness, and lack of concentration on the other. Magnesium deficiency can also frequently cause loss of appetite, nausea, muscle cramps, difficulty concentrating, headaches, and, in the later stages, cardiac arrhythmia. Some scientists also suspect that magnesium deficiency exacerbates depression.
How much magnesium is needed daily?
Depending on age and gender, the German Nutrition Society provides estimates for an adequate daily intake, which for adolescents and adults is 300 to 350 mg of magnesium. Nicolai Worm, a professor at the German University for Prevention (DHPG), considers this guideline too low. He believes the figures are based on the average for the population. Higher doses are recommended for optimal intake.
According to the National Consumption Study II, which collected data on Germans' dietary habits between 2005 and 2007, a quarter of men and a third of women are inadequately supplied with this essential mineral. Among girls between 14 and 18, the figure is as high as half. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and the elderly are also among the at-risk groups.
Good to know: Your body excretes important minerals, including magnesium, through sweat. So, make sure you get enough magnesium, especially in the summer, during strenuous exercise, or during strenuous physical activity.
Magnesium deficiency and diabetes
Diabetics are particularly likely to suffer from magnesium deficiency. This may even be one of the causes of the disease. Two of the largest epidemiological studies, i.e., studies examining the prevalence of diseases in the population, found, through a total of approximately 130,000 participants, that people who consistently follow a magnesium-deficient diet are significantly more likely to develop diabetes.
Which foods are rich in magnesium?
The mineral magnesium is essential for life, but our bodies cannot produce it on their own. Therefore, it must be obtained through food. Magnesium is found primarily in whole grain products, but also in mineral water, meat, fish, seeds, vegetables, legumes, and milk and dairy products.
What forms of magnesium are there?
Magnesium supplements always provide magnesium as a magnesium compound, meaning the magnesium is bound to another substance. In the organic compound magnesium citrate, for example, the mineral is bound to citrate, the salt of citric acid, while in the inorganic compound magnesium carbonate, it is bound to the salt of carbonic acid. Other compounds also exist, such as magnesium sulfate or magnesium oxide.
When and for how long should I take magnesium?
If you have an increased magnesium requirement or a diagnosed magnesium deficiency, you should take magnesium daily and over a longer period of time. It can take several weeks for the body's magnesium stores to be sufficiently replenished. Furthermore, magnesium only remains beneficial in the body if enough binding molecules are available. These are formed through biochemical adaptations only after an increased amount of the mineral has been consumed over a longer period.
– Magnesium in top form for power and strong nerves
Good quality sleep, sufficient exercise and a balanced diet are key to a life full of vitality. The most important thing is the correct supply of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. One particularly important mineral is magnesium. You can only perform to your full potential with enough magnesium. This is especially true for people who are very active in sports, because when you are under a lot of strain and sweat a lot, your body loses more minerals, including magnesium. In addition, the need for magnesium increases with a person's muscle mass.
Magnesium for the muscles
– Magnesium citrate, the rapidly available magnesium compound
As an essential mineral, magnesium is one of theElectrolytesand thus plays a role in the balance between tension and relaxation of your muscles. If you suffer fromMuscle crampsIf you suffer from pain in your calves, for example, then the concentration of calcium in relation to magnesium in your body is probably too high. Magnesium relaxes the muscles by reducing the influx of calcium and thus the tendency to cramps. Magnesium also plays an indispensable role in theEnergy metabolism, the functionality of theNeurons, psychological functions, the maintenance ofBone, protein synthesis andCell division.
Magnesium citrate is known as an alkaline, readily available magnesium compound and is one of the most popular magnesium compounds, especially among athletes and people who are active. Magnesium in the citrate form impresses with its highBioavailability, is absorbed particularly quickly by the body and is well tolerated.
You ask – we answer
What does the organism need magnesium for?
Magnesium is an essential mineral among the electrolytes and plays a key role in their balance in the body. A balanced electrolyte ratio ensures the optimal balance between muscle tension and relaxation. Above all, magnesium is essential for normalEnergy metabolismindispensable. It activates adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel of cells, and thus around 300 enzymes. Furthermore, magnesium inhibits the release of the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline and has a stabilizing effect on cell membranes, thereby reducing the excitability of nerve cells.
What is magnesium citrate?
Minerals such as magnesium cannot be present as elements in dietary supplements because they would be neither stable nor available. Examples of magnesium compounds that can be used in dietary supplements include magnesium carbonate and magnesium oxide. Magnesium citrate, available in capsule, tablet, or powder form, is becoming increasingly popular. In this compound, magnesium is bound to the citric acid salt, i.e., citrate.
How does magnesium citrate work?
Compared to other magnesium compounds, magnesium citrate is more water-soluble and is absorbed particularly quickly by the body. This high bioavailability of magnesium citrate is of interest to anyone seeking a rapid magnesium supply and is especially popular with athletes seeking a quick magnesium boost or with active individuals seeking to maintain a balanced diet.
Why should I take magnesium citrate?
Anyone looking for a quick magnesium supply is well advised to use magnesium citrate. If you are very active in sports, a quickly available extra dose of magnesium can be good for your performance and the rapid recovery of your muscles. Magnesium citrate is also suitable for muscle function as a remedy for calf cramps due to itsrapid absorption by the bodyespecially recommended. In addition, magnesium citrate accelerates theBowel movements, which can be helpful for people with slow digestion or constipation.
Which magnesium is the best?
For some time now, health-conscious individuals have been debating which magnesium compounds are the best. Some swear by organically bound forms such as magnesium citrate, while others remain loyal to inorganically bound magnesium supplements (for example, magnesium carbonate). The bioavailability of magnesium citrate is generally considered particularly high, although this may also be related to the measurement methods. What is certain is that magnesium citrate is absorbed and utilized particularly quickly by the body, whileMagnesium carbonateacts more slowly, but remains longer in the organism and has a greaterDepot effectMagnesium citrate also has a faster effect on bowel movements than magnesium carbonate. So the question isn't what is the best magnesium compound, but rather: What do I want to use magnesium for, and which magnesium best solves my problem.
What should I pay attention to when taking magnesium citrate?
Not everyone tolerates every magnesium supplement equally well. Low-dose magnesium supplements, such as dietary supplements, are generally well tolerated. The advantage of magnesium citrate: It has high bioavailability and is absorbed more quickly by the body. Magnesium is best taken regularly every day over an extended period of time.
