Magnesium Taurate (120 caps)

For more energy Magnesium is one of the vital minerals that the body cannot produce itself and must be supplied through food. The mineral is essential for many processes in the body, including primarily energy metabolism, vital muscle functions and important biochemical processes within the muscles and nerves. If the body does not have enough magnesium, 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 stabilizes cell membranes, reduces the excitability of nerve cells and thus contributes to normal muscle function. If there is a magnesium deficiency, the body draws on the magnesium in the bones or body cells to ensure a constant magnesium level in the blood. A magnesium deficiency would therefore also have negative consequences for otherwise vital bones. The daily magnesium requirement for adults is approx. 300 to 400 mg, slightly higher for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Factors such as heavy sweating during exercise or insufficient fluid intake can also lead to an increased need for magnesium.In the case of Magnesium taurate, magnesium is formed when it binds to the amino acid taurine. Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid that has several functions in the body, including regulating electrolytes such as magnesium.
