What is Magnesium?
Magnesium is a mineral essential for many bodily processes. Rich sources of magnesium include cocoa, green leafy vegetables, nuts, dates, prunes, and avocado.
Magnesium deficiency is becoming increasingly common these days. Stress can play a role, as the body uses a lot of magnesium during times of stress. There are also medications that lower magnesium levels. Symptoms associated with a magnesium deficiency include cramps, fatigue, constipation, anxiety, and restlessness.
Organically bound forms of Magnesium
The magnesium variants in this product are organically bound forms of magnesium, which are more easily absorbed than inorganically bound forms due to their high bioavailability. Our daily diet generally contains primarily inorganically bound magnesium, as these are the forms found in the soil and absorbed by the plants we eat.
What is Magnesium Citrate?
Magnesium citrate is a compound of magnesium and citrate (citric acid salt). Magnesium citrate is particularly well absorbed by tissues and muscles, making it ideal for athletes.
What is Magnesium Malate?
Magnesium malate is a bond between the mineral magnesium and organic malic acid. Malic acid can be used in the citric acid cycle, which contributes to the formation of ATP (energy). Magnesium malate is well absorbed.
What is Magnesium Bisglycinate?
Magnesium bisglycinate is bound to the amino acid l-glycine and can therefore cross the blood-brain barrier more easily.
What is Magnesium Taurate?
Magnesium taurate is a compound of magnesium and the amino acid L-taurine, which is naturally occurring in the body. This compound makes it easier for magnesium to cross the blood-brain barrier and be absorbed into the brain.
What is Aquamin® magnesium?
Aquamin® magnesium is a multi-mineral complex that is easily absorbed by the body. Aquamin® magnesium is extracted from the clean, mineral-rich seawater off the Irish coast, which is why it is also called marine magnesium. Marine magnesium contains magnesium hydroxide. The advantage of magnesium hydroxide is that it can be absorbed directly into the body.
