Magnesium
Magnesium is known as an essential trace element. This basically means that it is needed in very small amounts in the body, but must be consumed through our diet. The mineral serves many functions in the human body acting as one of the major electrolytes as well as a cofactor for over 300 enzyme reactions. (Source: Examine.com)
Inadequate magnesium intake is widely common across the globe, and it has been estimated that up to 48% of adults do not meet the recommended daily allowance. (Source: NCBI) That is one reason that our comprehensive magnesium range (over 20 different products) is so popular amongst our loyal patrons.
Our Range
Below is a list of some of our more popular magnesium supplements, with a brief summary of each. For more information, simply click on the product above.
Plantforce magnesium
A cutting-edge formula designed to enhance rapid and efficient absorption of magnesium in the body. When the powder is mixed in water, ionic magnesium citrate is created through a reaction between magnesium carbonate and citric acid. The ionic properties allow magnesium to readily enter the cells making it fast-acting and highly absorbable. This is the best way to prevent magnesium deficiency.
Mag Osteo
Plantforce® Mag Osteo is formulated not just to increase your magnesium level, but it may also to aid the absorption of calcium by your bones. Our tailored combination of vitamins and minerals in this formula helps prevents calcifications and is needed to absorb the natural calcium from your diet.
Key health aspects of magnesium
There are many essential roles of magnesium in the body, which are believed to provide a protective effect from many health conditions.
Primary electrolyte
Magnesium is the second most prevalent electrolyte in the body and has been referred to as the "forgotten electrolyte". (Source: NCBI) Electrolytes are molecules in the body that can dissolve in water and are capable of conducting electrical charges. This is important for supporting muscle contraction and the maintenance of fluid balance in the body.
When we under consume electrolytes, water cannot be absorbed into our cells, and their function can become impaired. it can also lead to excessive fatigue and dehydration.
Enzyme cofactor
Every second, there are hundreds of enzymatic reactions occurring in the body. These are essential for the production of energy, nerve, and immune system function to name a few. However, these enzymes, require crutches to carry out their important roles.
One of these "crutches" is magnesium, and in that way, it is one of the most important cofactors in the human body.
Exercise and Performance
Because magnesium is an electrolyte, but also a "crutch" for energy production, it is crucial to consume enough of this mineral in athletic and sport settings.
During training and competition, we can lose up to 20% of our magnesium through sweating. (Source: NCBI) If these levels are not recovered after exercise it can result in inadequate hydration, impaired recovery, and degraded performance in subsequent sessions. (Source: MDPI)
Our magnesium products provide a highly available source of this essential electrolyte that can be mixed with water to produce a delicious, refreshing post-training drink.
Blood pressure Regulation
Another important application of magnesium is in the regulation of healthy blood pressure. This is the pressure that your circulating blood places on the walls of your arteries and both low and high blood levels are linked with a number of health complications.
There have been several studies showing that magnesium may help to reduce blood pressure among those with low magnesium levels or with high blood pressure. (Source: Examine.com)
