- Role in the body: Magnesium is an essential mineral for over 300 enzymes in the body, playing a key role in metabolic processes, including energy production (ATP), protein synthesis and blood pressure regulation. It is also important for the proper functioning of muscles, including the heart muscle, and the nervous system. Magnesium deficiency can lead to symptoms such as muscle cramps, fatigue, sleep problems and elevated blood pressure.
Health benefits of magnesium bisglycinate supplementation
✅ High bioavailability and easy absorption: Magnesium in the form of bisglycinate is one of the best absorbed forms of this mineral. Magnesium bisglycinate is chelated, which means that magnesium is combined with glycine, an amino acid that aids its absorption in the intestines. This makes magnesium better absorbed by the body while being gentle on the digestive system, making it particularly recommended for people who experience gastrointestinal problems when supplementing with other forms of magnesium (such as magnesium oxide or citrate).
✅ Support for muscle health: Magnesium is a key mineral for the proper functioning of muscles, preventing muscle cramps and promoting relaxation after exercise. Its deficiency can lead to painful cramps, especially at night, and excessive muscle tension. Regular supplementation with magnesium bisglycinate supports muscle health, contributes to muscle recovery after training and prevents overloading.
✅ Nervous system support and stress reduction: Magnesium is key to the normal functioning of the nervous system, supporting nerve conduction and helping to reduce symptoms of stress and tension. Magnesium bisglycinate is particularly beneficial for people who experience excessive mental fatigue or sleep difficulties. Glycine, to which magnesium is bound, is an amino acid with a calming effect, which further supports healthy sleep and helps to relieve stress.
✅ Supporting cardiovascular health: Magnesium helps to regulate blood pressure, which is crucial for cardiovascular health. Regular magnesium supplementation can reduce the risk of hypertension and also support a healthy heart rhythm. Magnesium deficiency is associated with an increased risk of arrhythmia, heart attack and other cardiac problems.
✅ Improving sleep quality: Thanks to the calming effects of glycine, magnesium bisglycinate may improve sleep quality by helping to relax before bed and reducing difficulty falling asleep. Magnesium supplementation may help to reduce insomnia, especially in people who experience it against a stressful background.
✅ Support for healthy bones and teeth: Magnesium is essential for maintaining healthy bone structure as it helps metabolise calcium and vitamin D, which are key to bone mineralisation. Its deficiency can contribute to weakened bones and an increased risk of osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women.
For whom this supplement is intended
- Physically active people: Magnesium supports muscle recovery after training, prevents cramps and aids muscle relaxation after intense exercise.
- People struggling with stress: Magnesium bisglycinate helps to regulate the nervous system and relieve symptoms of stress, so it may be particularly beneficial for people experiencing chronic stress.
- People with sleep problems: Thanks to its calming effects, magnesium bisglycinate may help to improve sleep quality, supporting healthy nighttime recovery.
- Older people: As we age, magnesium absorption can be less effective and deficiencies can lead to bone, muscle and heart problems. Magnesium bisglycinate supplementation supports bone and cardiovascular health.
- People with magnesium deficiency: The supplement is ideal for people who struggle with magnesium deficiency, which can manifest as muscle cramps, fatigue, sleep disturbances or excessive stress.
