ORGANIC MAG+
ORGANIC MAG+ is a food supplement based on organic magnesium.
Magnesium bisglycinate is a highly bioavailable and well-tolerated form of magnesium. It is called glycinate or bisglycinate because it is a form of magnesium that is bound to two molecules of glycine, an amino acid. This form of magnesium has a high bioavailability and tolerability because it is organic magnesium.
A main distinction must be made: organic magnesium and inorganic magnesium: Magnesium is defined as organic when it is bound to a molecule that contains carbon, such as those found in the tissues of living beings. For example, magnesium bisglycinate is an organic form as it is bound to an amino acid.
In contrast, magnesium is called inorganic when it is bound to a substance that does not contain carbon, such as another mineral salt. These forms of magnesium are not absorbed very well by the body and are often used for their laxative properties.
Why supplement magnesium?
It is estimated that the normal daily requirement of magnesium for an adult is around 350-400 mg. However, the consumption of fast food, processed foods, an unvarying diet or particular conditions may prevent this requirement from being met. Consequently, the diet may not guarantee a complete magnesium intake, a situation that is accentuated for those who practise sports where the need for this mineral increases.
The benefits of magnesium glycinate:
Sleep support: can help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and improve sleep quality. Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that has a calming effect on the brain. Therefore, magnesium bisglycinate may help improve sleep and reduce anxiety.
Improvement of cognitive functions: Glycine may have positive effects on cognitive function and memory. Some studies suggest that it may improve short-term memory and cognitive function in general.
Energy and metabolic support: The increased need for magnesium in athletes is linked to its loss through sweating. The physiological importance of magnesium lies in its ability to activate hundreds of enzymes present in the human body (magnesium-dependent enzymes) that control nervous, muscular, cardiac, vascular and metabolic activity. The same function performed by ATP (the energy molecule par excellence) is magnesium-dependent!
In conclusion, magnesium bisglycinate offers a range of benefits for general health, the nervous system, muscles, bones, digestive and cardiovascular Systems.
Indications for use:
SPORT: It is important to replenish magnesium because, during exercise, a lot is lost through sweating. Lack of magnesium can cause muscle cramps, tiredness and a feeling of heaviness in the muscles.
Dosage: 1-2 capsules per day in relation to actual loss through sweating.
DAILY LIFE: Given magnesium's multiple functions in the body, a deficiency can lead to exhaustion, weakness, and is frequent during seasonal changes, especially with the arrival of hot weather.
Serving size: 1-2 capsules per day.
Format: 60 vegetarian capsules
Ingredients: Magnesium bisglycinate, capsule (glazing agent: hydroxy-propyl methylcellulose; stabiliser: Gellan gum).
