Magnesium Complex | 60 tablets

What is magnesium? Magnesium is a mineral that contributes to hundreds of processes in our body. These include the functioning of our muscles and the transmission of nerve impulses. Magnesium is naturally present in our diet and your body absorbs it at the end of the small intestine. An adult man needs about 300 milligrams of magnesium per day. A woman 350 milligrams. If you eat a healthy and varied diet, you should get enough magnesium. However, not all magnesium that is taken in through food is actually absorbed. In fact, only about 20 to 60%. A large part of the magnesium that you get through your diet is difficult to absorb. And there are substances that can get in the way of magnesium absorption. Phytate is one such substance that can hinder the absorption of magnesium. Magnesium can be found in wholemeal products, but these also contain a high level of phytate (phytic acid). This makes whole grain products a less good source of magnesium. A magnesium supplement can be an important addition to a varied and healthy diet. What foods contain magnesium? Magnesium can be found in a number of foods, including: Vegetables, including spinach; Fruit, such as bananas; Nuts, including almonds, cashew nuts and Brazil nuts; And in cereal products such as wholemeal bread. Organic versus inorganic magnesium Many foods contain mainly the inorganically bound form of magnesium. This form of magnesium is less well absorbed by the body than the organic form. Organically bound magnesium is, for instance, magnesium citrate or magnesium bisglycinate. Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound between magnesium and two molecules of glycine. Glycine is an amino acid, a building block of protein. This amino acid-bound variant of magnesium is also known as a chelated magnesium compound. These are compounds that pass more easily through the stomach acid without splitting. They end up in the intestines, where they can be absorbed into the body via receptors. These receptors are like receivers that allow the particle to enter the cell. This makes these magnesium compounds easily absorbable. Better tolerance Another advantage of this magnesium compound is that many people tolerate magnesium bisglycinate better than other forms of magnesium. It causes fewer stomach and intestinal complaints than non-chelated forms of magnesium, such as magnesium chloride, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium sulphate. It is therefore not without reason that the Ovabalance magnesium supplement uses magnesium bisglycinate. What is magnesium good for? Magnesium contributes to many body processes: Magnesium helps with fatigue; Magnesium supports the energy level; Magnesium is important for normal muscle function and plays a role in maintaining smooth and strong muscles; Magnesium plays a role in the production of cells and tissues; Magnesium helps build proteins in the body; Magnesium is involved in bone formation and is important for maintaining strong bones and teeth; Magnesium is good for the state of mind, concentration and memory; Magnesium has a positive influence on the functioning of the nervous system; Magnesium helps maintain the normal balance of water and minerals in the body. Ovabalance Magnesium Complex One Ovabalance Magnesium Complex tablet contains 125 mg of magnesium. Two thirds of this is magnesium bisglycinate. And about one third is magnesium citrate. Both are easily absorbed organic forms of magnesium. Besides magnesium, the complex contains substances that support the effect of magnesium or improve its absorption. Taurine, for instance, is an amino acid that improves the absorption of magnesium. This magnesium complex also contains vitamin D and vitamin B6. Vitamin D has many health benefits, but like magnesium, it is also involved in the healthy functioning of muscles and bone formation. Vitamin D also supports the absorption of magnesium into the body. Vitamin B6, like magnesium, supports the body's natural energy and also helps with fatigue. Is the magnesium supplement safe? When using the recommended dosage of the supplement, the use of magnesium is safe. The acceptable upper limit for magnesium supplements is set at 250 milligrams per day. Please note: Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance; Store Ovabalance Magnesium Complex in a dry place and at room temperature; Keep this product out of reach of young children; A healthy lifestyle is important. A nutritional supplement is no substitute for a varied diet.
