Magnesium+ For muscles - Information

Magnesium for muscles

Magnesium is involved in a large number of biochemical reactions in the body and is needed to activate more than 300 different enzymes! Magnesium is perhaps best known for its effect on muscle function and is especially important for muscle relaxation. A common symptom of magnesium deficiency is muscle cramps and "ant crawling" in the legs. Magnesium also contributes to the normal function of the nervous system.

Magnesium malate and citrate

In Magnesium+ For Muscles we have chosen two forms of magnesium; magnesium malate and magnesium citrate, two organic forms with high bioavailability. Magnesium is therefore bound to malate (malic acid) and citrate (citric acid). These substances make it easy for the body to absorb magnesium, but they also have their own functions. Both are involved in the energy production of the muscles by contributing to the cells' production of ATP, the main energy source for muscle contraction.

The diet is not always rich in magnesium

Good sources of magnesium in the diet are nuts, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, almonds, beans, potatoes, fish, meat and dairy products. However, it is important to remember that chemical fertilizers prevent plants from absorbing magnesium from the soil, which means that the magnesium content varies greatly depending on the origin of the plants. Magnesium absorption can also be reduced by simultaneous intake of foods rich in phytic acid and/or very low protein intake. As if this were not enough, coffee, tea, soda and other diuretics, such as diuretic medication, risk stimulating the excretion of magnesium in the urine. Heavy alcohol consumption can also be another factor in magnesium loss, which can cause a deficiency of the mineral. There are also other factors that can increase our magnesium needs, such as hard exercise, heavy sweating and stress. In other words, there are a number of factors that can significantly increase the body's need for magnesium.

Supplemented with zinc and beetroot extract

Magnesium is often combined with zinc and vitamin B6 when it comes to muscle function and protein synthesis. This combination is beneficial, among other things, for supporting muscle function during physical activity and recovery. Beetroot extract contains high levels of nitrates, which are converted into nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide helps to dilate blood vessels, which is important for blood flow and oxygen supply to the muscles.

P-5-P

The active form of vitamin B6 is called P-5-P. Magnesium and B6 work together in the body. Like magnesium, it reduces tiredness and fatigue and supports the brain's cognitive functions.
