MAGNESIUM

MAGNESIUM – the mineral of LIFE, the fourth most important element for the human body and commonly deficient in Western societies.

MAGNESIUM – a key and essential element for the body. MAGNESIUM is also one of several essential trace elements.

MAGNESIUM – necessary for the effective functioning of more than 300 enzymatic processes in the body.

MAGNESIUM is an intracellular mineral, and its absorption by cells requires the supplement to be converted into a free ion within the body.

Most commercially available magnesium supplements are not absorbed by cells.

MAGNESIUM | FUNCTIONS IN THE BODY

MAGNESIUM is responsible for several vital functions in the body. The most important include regulation and support of MUSCLE function and the NERVOUS SYSTEM (including improved memory and cognitive performance), as well as strategic support of the IMMUNE SYSTEM.
MAGNESIUM supports proper CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM function, helps prevent HEART diseases, and supports their treatment.
MAGNESIUM contributes to the regulation of BLOOD SUGAR levels and BLOOD PRESSURE.
MAGNESIUM is a key component of HEALTHY BONES.
MAGNESIUM supports the synthesis of PROTEINS, BONE TISSUE, and DNA.
MAGNESIUM is also essential for the proper function of ENZYMES responsible for ENERGY production in the body.
MAGNESIUM has a significant impact on OVERALL WELL-BEING.

MAGNESIUM | BENEFITS OF USE

NERVOUS SYSTEM

• MAGNESIUM is strategically important for proper NERVOUS SYSTEM function, playing a key role in transmitting NERVE IMPULSES.
• MAGNESIUM is essential for normal brain function and helps regulate mood; therefore, its activity is associated with alleviating symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depressive states.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

• MAGNESIUM is essential for proper function of IMMUNE CELLS such as T LYMPHOCYTES (key in combating INFECTIONS and CANCERS) and NATURAL KILLER (NK) cells, which play a critical role in immune defense against infections and disease.
• MAGNESIUM also helps regulate inflammatory processes, which is important for normal IMMUNE SYSTEM activity.
• Blood MAGNESIUM concentration is relevant for the IMMUNE SYSTEM — adequate levels support defense against both PATHOGENS and CANCER CELLS.

PERFORMANCE & ENERGY | IMPROVED SPORTS PERFORMANCE

• MAGNESIUM plays a STRATEGIC role in muscle and nerve function, making it key for ATHLETES and ACTIVE INDIVIDUALS.
• MAGNESIUM supports ENDURANCE and ENERGY levels during training and sports activity.
• MAGNESIUM effectively supports RECOVERY after training and sports activity.

RECOVERY

• MAGNESIUM effectively supports RECOVERY after training and sports activity.

HEALTHY HEART | STABLE BLOOD PRESSURE

• MAGNESIUM supports the HEART and CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, helps regulate blood pressure, and reduces the risk of ATHEROSCLEROSIS and ARRHYTHMIAS.
• MAGNESIUM contributes to proper HEART function by helping regulate HEART RHYTHM and supporting normal BLOOD PRESSURE.

MENTAL HEALTH | STRESS AND ANXIETY RELIEF

• MAGNESIUM is essential for normal brain function and supports mood regulation; MAGNESIUM is associated with alleviating symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depressive states.
• MAGNESIUM has a calming effect on the body and may help reduce high levels of stress and anxiety by supporting regulation of stress-hormone release (particularly cortisol).
• MAGNESIUM supports relaxation and calming of the nervous system — including increasing GABA levels (a neurotransmitter involved in nervous-system calming).
• MAGNESIUM may reduce the risk of depression and anxiety disorders.
• MAGNESIUM may support management of chronic FATIGUE.
• MAGNESIUM — natural support for the nervous system.

HEALTHY BONES

• Approximately 60% of MAGNESIUM in the body is stored in BONES.
• MAGNESIUM supports maintenance of normal BONE and TEETH status.
• MAGNESIUM helps distribute an appropriate amount of CALCIUM to different tissues.
• MAGNESIUM facilitates CALCIUM uptake into bone cells and simultaneously limits CALCIUM deposition in soft tissues such as muscles, where only small amounts are required.
• MAGNESIUM influences PARATHYROID HORMONE levels and the active form of VITAMIN D, which are essential for maintaining healthy bones.
• MAGNESIUM improves bone mineral density, reducing the risk of OSTEOPOROSIS.

HEALTHIER, BETTER SLEEP

• MAGNESIUM supports sleep quality.
• MAGNESIUM supports regulation of MELATONIN production, which controls the sleep–wake cycle.
• MAGNESIUM helps relax muscles, promoting deeper, more restorative rest.

CRAMPS | PREVENTION

• MAGNESIUM regulates neuromuscular conduction. MAGNESIUM is key for transmitting nerve impulses to muscles, enabling contraction and relaxation.
• MAGNESIUM maintains electrolyte balance: MAGNESIUM supports balance of electrolytes, including potassium and calcium, which are essential for normal muscle function.
• MAGNESIUM reduces muscle tension: MAGNESIUM helps relax muscles, preventing excessive tension and cramps.
• MAGNESIUM plays a key role in preventing MUSCLE CRAMPS because it is essential for proper NEUROMUSCULAR SYSTEM function.
• MAGNESIUM deficiency may lead to increased neuromuscular excitability manifested as cramps.

STABLE BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS

• MAGNESIUM supports regulation of BLOOD SUGAR and BLOOD PRESSURE.
• MAGNESIUM supports GLUCOSE and INSULIN metabolism, which is key in preventing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

TESTOSTERONE | PRODUCTION SUPPORT

• MAGNESIUM may improve TESTOSTERONE levels in men with MAGNESIUM deficiency.
• TESTOSTERONE — a hormone important for male sexual health and fertility.

PMS | SYMPTOM RELIEF

• MAGNESIUM may help relieve PMS symptoms in WOMEN, including CRAMPS, MOOD SWINGS, and BLOATING.
• MAGNESIUM combined with VITAMIN B6 may help reduce these complaints and improve well-being.

PREGNANCY SUPPORT

• MAGNESIUM is important for a healthy pregnancy course, as it helps regulate blood pressure and reduces the risk of preeclampsia.
• MAGNESIUM may also reduce the risk of preterm birth.
• Before using any product during pregnancy, consult your supervising physician.

OSTEOPOROSIS | LOWER RISK

• MAGNESIUM improves bone mineral density, reducing the risk of OSTEOPOROSIS.
• WOMEN are more prone to OSTEOPOROSIS than men and should ensure adequate MAGNESIUM intake to support bone health.
• Studies indicate that MAGNESIUM preparations can improve bone mineral density in women, potentially lowering OSTEOPOROSIS risk.

IMPORTANT FOR CANCER PATIENTS

• The fact that MAGNESIUM is key for T cell function may be particularly relevant in modern cancer immunotherapy.

• The aim is to mobilize the immune system, especially T cells, to fight cancer cells.

• In experimental models, researchers showed that increased MAGNESIUM concentration within tumors enhanced T cell immune responses directed against cancer cells.

SYMPTOMS OF MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY

Fatigue and weakness: general tiredness, lack of energy, reduced muscle strength.
Muscle weakness: decreased muscle strength.
Muscle cramps, especially in the legs.
Headaches and migraines.
Increased susceptibility to stress.
Neurological disorders: irritability, nervousness, anxiety, problems with concentration and memory.
Heart rhythm disturbances: palpitations, irregular heartbeat, ECG abnormalities.
Sleep disorders: difficulty falling asleep, frequent night awakenings.
Nail and hair problems: brittle nails, hair loss.
Arterial hypertension: magnesium has vasodilatory effects; its deficiency may contribute to elevated blood pressure.
Eyelid twitching.
Electrolyte imbalances: magnesium deficiency may affect levels of other electrolytes such as potassium, calcium, and phosphorus, leading to further health complications.

It should be noted that symptoms of magnesium deficiency may be nonspecific and easily overlooked; therefore, if concerning symptoms occur, medical consultation and consideration of magnesium supplementation are recommended when necessary.

Detailed effects of magnesium deficiency:

• Nervous system: irritability, nervousness, sleep disturbances, headaches, migraines, tremors of the hands and legs, numbness and tingling of the limbs, impaired concentration and memory, anxiety and depressive states, apathy.

• Musculoskeletal system: muscle cramps, including painful leg cramps, muscle weakness, increased bone fragility, higher risk of osteoporosis.

• Cardiovascular system: heart palpitations, cardiac arrhythmias, arterial hypertension, increased risk of heart disease.

• Other: hair loss, brittle nails, reduced immunity, concentration difficulties, apathy, low mood, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances.

• Effects during pregnancy: in pregnant women, magnesium deficiency may increase the risk of uterine contractions, preterm birth or miscarriage, as well as eclampsia, a life-threatening condition.
