Magnesium Citrate · 250g

Magnesium is considered an essential mineral that influences a variety of functions in the human organism, or rather makes them possible in the first place. Magnesium is a cofactor for numerous enzymes and makes a significant contribution to maintaining a normal metabolism. Both DNA and protein synthesis (2,3) are significantly influenced by magnesium. The same applies to the provision of energy (4,5). In the human body, the mineral acts as a calcium antagonist. As such, magnesium is an important factor in the body's own production of vitamin D (6). Vitamin D can bring numerous benefits to the body, which is why optimizing vitamin D synthesis should be a high priority for everyone. However, different forms of magnesium have been shown to have varying degrees of effectiveness in all of these processes. Depending on the form of the mineral, it can be absorbed differently by the human body. The effect of magnesium as a dietary supplement is therefore highly dependent on the raw material on which the supplement is based. Magnesium Citrate from GN Laboratories uses, as can easily be seen, exclusively magnesium citrate. This has optimum bioavailability and is ideally absorbed by the body (1).

As already mentioned, magnesium is a cofactor for a number of enzymes. Some of these enzymes are required by the human body to build up body mass and enable protein biosynthesis. This role in the synthesis of protein structures makes magnesium a decisive factor in muscle building (2,3). In the muscles themselves, magnesium also fulfills important tasks that are crucial for various functions in the body. Magnesium is involved in enabling the transmission of nerve impulses to the various muscle cells. This transmission of stimuli ensures both the contraction of the muscles and their relaxation (3). Muscle relaxation is of crucial importance for well-being, as without functional muscle relaxation, cramps can often occur, which are usually accompanied by severe pain. Scientific studies came to the conclusion that study participants who regularly took magnesium had an antispasmodic effect on their muscles (7). In addition, like calcium, magnesium also plays a decisive role in the stability and resilience of joints and bones (6,8). A deficiency of the mineral can therefore lead to bone and joint problems, among other things. Magnesium influences bone health by making a significant contribution to the synthesis of vitamin D, but also by influencing the interaction between vitamin D and calcium (6).

Magnesium is not considered a multi-talent among supplements for nothing. The range of positive effects on the human body attributed to magnesium is enormous. If you look at the individual benefits that a regular intake of magnesium can bring, it quickly becomes clear why the supplement is so popular beyond the boundaries of sport. Magnesium Citrate from GN Laboratories provides your body with an optimal supply. This allows you to take full advantage of the benefits of magnesium so that nothing stands in the way of your goals.
