Magnesium Complex 7
Magnesium Bisglycinate
Magnesium glycinate is bound to the amino acid glycine. Glycine is found in connective tissue and the brain. Magnesium glycinate is considered one of the most readily available magnesium compounds and contributes to normal protein synthesis, nervous system function and psychological function.
Magnesium Lysinate
Magnesium lysinate is a form of magnesium bound to the amino acid lysine and is characterised by the special properties of L-lysine and its high solubility, which together promote absorption.
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium citrate exists in 2 forms, which contain either about 7% or about 15% magnesium. The tri-magnesium dicitrate we use has the higher active ingredient factor of 15% and very high bioavailability and rapid absorption. Magnesium citrate is alkaline, contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal muscle function, electrolyte balance and normal protein synthesis.
Magnesium Malate
Magnesium malate is an organic compound of magnesium and malic acid (2-hydroxybutanedioic acid). The complex-like bond protects the magnesium. Malic acid is a natural fruit acid found in fruits and vegetables.
Magnesium Lactate
Magnesium lactate is an organic compound of magnesium with dextrorotatory lactic acid (lactate). Dextrorotatory lactic acid is a natural metabolic product of humans and is also produced by lactic acid bacteria. Lactate is a component of the skin's acid mantle and the lactic acid intestinal environment, serves as food for butyrate-producing intestinal bacteria and is an important energy source for the cells of the intestinal mucosa.
Magnesium Ascorbate
Magnesium ascorbate is a salt of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It is also known as buffered vitamin C, is well tolerated and has good bioavailability.
Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium oxide is characterised by a uniquely high magnesium content of 57%. Since the magnesium is bound to only a single oxide atom, it far exceeds the usual content of 5–10% pure magnesium. This allows a high-dose intake with only one capsule. The chemical reaction of magnesium oxide and the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach produces magnesium chloride and water. High-dose magnesium oxide thus neutralises stomach acid. It is therefore less suitable for people with low stomach acid.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):
Magnesium contributes to:
- A reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Electrolyte balance
- Normal energy-yielding metabolism
- Normal functioning of the nervous system
- Normal muscle function
- Normal protein synthesis
- Normal psychological function
- The maintenance of normal bones
- The maintenance of normal teeth
- Cell division
