Magnesium 100 mg, 100 capsules

Magnesium citrate – easily absorbed

This product contains 100 mg of magnesium in the easily absorbable, organic form of magnesium citrate. Many magnesium-containing products are available in tablet form, as they offer more space for the magnesium. And these tablets are often large, because magnesium takes up a great deal of space. Not everyone finds it comfortable to take such large tablets. That is why Vitals supplies this product in capsule form, which is easier to swallow. If necessary, the capsule can also be opened so that the contents can be mixed into something.

The capsule shell is made from pullulan, which is produced from cassava (an edible root vegetable, also known as manioc). To ensure the capsule is filled correctly, excipients derived from rice are used.

The effects of magnesium in the body

The body contains around 21 to 28 grams of magnesium. Less than 1 % circulates in the blood; around 20 % is found in the muscles, 20 % in other soft tissues and the liver, and around 60 % is stored in the bones and teeth. Magnesium is therefore beneficial for the muscles and important for maintaining strong bones and teeth. It is also involved in more than 300 enzymatic processes. Magnesium is an important cofactor for enzymes involved in protein synthesis (the process by which proteins are produced on the basis of DNA). It helps to maintain a good electrolyte balance because it is a cofactor for many enzymes involved in maintaining an electrical potential across the cell membrane. (Cells – particularly nerve and muscle cells – utilise the electrical charge of electrolytes to conduct electrical impulses to and from other cells, e.g. nerve impulses or muscle contractions.) Magnesium is therefore involved in nerve conduction and muscle contraction and is thus important for muscle function, including that of the heart muscle. Furthermore, an insufficient intake of magnesium can lead to fatigue. Magnesium can help you get back on your feet in this case. It helps to release energy from fats, carbohydrates and protein, thereby supporting energy levels. It is also important for brain and nerve functions, as these are responsible for aspects such as concentration, memory and mood. And last but not least, magnesium contributes to normal cell division and to the production of cells and tissues.
