Magnesium

Magnesium is a true multi-talent for your body. According to the European Health Claims Regulation (NHCR), it is scientifically confirmed that this mineral contributes to normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. In addition, magnesium supports a normal energy-yielding metabolism and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Maintaining a sufficient supply is also essential for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Furthermore, magnesium makes an important contribution to normal psychological function.

To ensure your body can absorb magnesium optimally, you should pay attention to the timing in relation to certain other substances. Magnesium can influence the absorption of iron, zinc, and calcium if swallowed at the same time. The combination with Vitamin D3 is also important to understand: magnesium is required for its activation. Phosphate-containing drinks or a very high-fiber diet can temporarily reduce absorption. Also, make sure to take the capsules or powder with sufficient liquid.

Evening intake is particularly popular because magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal muscle function. Many people therefore value a supply in the evening. Since the body's own excretion via the kidneys increases in the early morning hours, an evening daily dose can also help to keep levels stable throughout the night.

You should not take magnesium directly with meals that contain high amounts of phytates (e.g., from legumes). The choice of magnesium form depends on your goals: Tri-magnesium dicitrate is often chosen for rapid absorption, while magnesium malate is popularly used in the morning due to its role in energy-yielding metabolism. In case of severe renal dysfunction, you must consult your doctor before intake.

Excess magnesium is usually excreted via the kidneys. The most common side effect of an amount exceeding the recommended intake is soft stools. We therefore recommend strictly adhering to the serving suggestion on the label.

The duration depends heavily on your current nutritional status. While magnesium contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal muscle function, balancing low magnesium levels often requires consistent intake over several weeks.

While magnesium oxide is often found in simple preparations, we rely on organic forms such as magnesium citrate and magnesium bisglycinate. These forms are known for their high bioavailability compared to inorganic oxides. In our complex formulas, we combine these different magnesium sources to utilize various absorption pathways and ensure a steady supply.
