Magnesium Citrate Capsules

Magnesium is essential for healthy bone and muscle development in the human body and plays a significant role in energy metabolism. As an electrolyte, it also performs a variety of functions inside and outside every human cell.

Magnesium is essential for healthy bone and muscle development in the human body and plays a significant role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. As an electrolyte, it also performs a variety of functions inside and outside every human cell.

Magnesium citrate offers a simple way to ensure an adequate magnesium supply to the body. Magnesium is one of the so-called trace elements among minerals. Magnesium is necessary for several vital processes in the human body. It is an important structural component and is found primarily in the teeth and skeleton, where it influences their healthy development.

As an electrolyte, it plays an important role in the normal function of muscles and the nervous system. As a cofactor of over 300 different enzymes, magnesium is essential for a properly functioning energy metabolism and plays a key role in cell division. Magnesium also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to electrolyte balance inside and outside human cells. It is essential for normal protein synthesis and important psychological functions. Most magnesium is stored in the skeleton. When needed, the mineral can be quickly released from the bones.

Magnesium is absorbed from food in the small intestine. The magnesium level in the blood is very precisely regulated by hormones. Parathyroid hormone, produced in the parathyroid gland, promotes the absorption of magnesium from food. Calcitonin, produced in the thyroid gland, is the antagonist of parathyroid hormone. Accordingly, it lowers the magnesium level in the blood and causes it to be deposited in the bones.
In order to better absorb the magnesium contained in food, the body needs vitamin D. Until now, it was assumed that a magnesium deficiency was rare. Because the symptoms of a deficiency are very diverse, they are often attributed to other causes. They range from reduced performance, fatigue, migraine-like headaches and heart pain to abdominal and muscle cramps. The cause of a magnesium deficiency can be an unbalanced diet low in magnesium or increased physical strain, for example due to long-term diarrhea, pregnancy or competitive sports. Alcohol abuse, diuretic use and certain metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus or hyperthyroidism lead to increased magnesium loss through the kidneys. Absorption disorders due to inflammatory bowel disease or short bowel syndrome can also cause a magnesium deficiency. Short-term deficiencies are compensated for by the magnesium stores in the skeleton if there is an adequate supply.

Magnesium is particularly high in whole grain products, brown rice, green vegetables, nuts, and beans. Smaller amounts are found in meat, fish, milk, and dairy products. In the small intestine, ingested magnesium is always dissolved from its organic or inorganic compound and absorbed as a free cation throughout the intestinal tract.

Magnesium Citrate contains the mineral in a highly absorbable citrate form. It offers a simple way to achieve and maintain a balanced magnesium status in the body.
