Magnesium citrate 125 mg (120 caps)

For a balanced magnesium level Magnesium is one of the vital minerals that must be supplied to the body because it cannot produce it itself. The mineral is essential for many processes in the body, for example for energy metabolism, for vital muscle functions and within the muscles and nerves. In addition, factors such as insufficient fluid intake or heavy sweating during exercise can lead to an increased need for magnesium. If the body does not have enough magnesium available, the membranes become more permeable to sodium, potassium and calcium, which increases the excitability of the nerve cells and thus also the tendency to muscle cramps. Magnesium reduces this excitability by stabilizing cell membranes and thus contributing to normal muscle function. Depending on your diet, it is not easy to provide your body with enough magnesium – the daily requirement for adults is around 100 mg. 300-400 mg, in pregnant and breastfeeding women it is even higher. If the body does not receive enough magnesium, it draws on the magnesium in the bones or body cells to ensure a constant magnesium level in the blood. Therefore, magnesium is also essential for maintaining vital bones. A magnesium deficiency often manifests itself in frequent muscle cramps or eyelid twitching. Magnesium citrate is the form of magnesium that is best and fastest absorbed by the body. Therefore, the proportion of pure magnesium is lower than in the magnesium oxide compound.
