For muscles and nerves
Magnesium is one of the vital minerals that the body cannot produce itself and must be supplied through food.
The mineral is essential for many processes in the body, primarily for energy metabolism, for vital muscle functions
and for important biochemical processes within the muscles and nerves. If the body has too little magnesium available,
the membranes become more permeable to sodium, potassium and calcium, which increases the excitability of the
nerve cells and thus the tendency to muscle cramps. Magnesium stabilizes the cell membranes, reduces the excitability
of nerve cells and thus contributes to normal muscle function. If there is a deficiency in magnesium, the body relies on
the magnesium in the bones or body cells to ensure a constant magnesium level in the blood. A magnesium deficiency
would therefore also have negative consequences for otherwise vital bones.
The daily requirement for magnesium is around 300 to 400 mg for adults and slightly higher for pregnant and
breastfeeding women. Factors such as excessive sweating during exercise or insufficient fluid intake can also lead
to an increased need for magnesium. The magnesium bisglycinate used in this product is an organic magnesium
compound in which the magnesium is bound to an amino acid (glycine). With the advantage that the amino acid
protects the sensitive mucous membranes in the digestive tract from irritation caused by the magnesium.
Magnesium bisglycinate is therefore considered to be particularly well tolerated and rarely causes diarrhea compared
to other magnesium compounds. In addition, thanks to the amino acid, the magnesium can be absorbed very well,
as it does not have to go through the usual absorption routes.
