BioActivo Magnesium 60cap - Pharma Nord

BioActivo Magnesium contains a blend of three different forms of magnesium, allowing the tablet to dissolve completely in a glass of water in just 1 to 2 minutes—even in people with low stomach acid—where the magnesium content is transformed into an absorbable ion form. Each tablet contains 200 mg of magnesium. BioActivo Magnesium has a neutral flavor and does not need to be taken with a meal.

Magnesium test

As a consumer, you can test whether the magnesium tablets you usually take dissolve effectively. Not all do. We placed two magnesium tablets in two glasses of water. On the left, the BioActivo Magnesium tablet from Pharma Nord dissolved quickly and will be absorbed in just a few minutes. In the glass on the right, we placed a competing brand magnesium tablet. Even after 24 hours in the water, it doesn't show any signs of dissolution.

What is magnesium?

Magnesium is an essential mineral and a vital element for maintaining acid-base balance. It is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, demonstrating its importance. Magnesium is present in all cells, and 98% of this mineral is found within the cell. An adult has approximately 24 grams of magnesium. About 25% is found in muscle tissue and 60% in bones, along with other minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.

Magnesium plays several important roles in the body, supporting more than 300 different enzymatic processes.

Magnesium contributes to:

• normal muscle functioning;

• normal energy metabolism;

• maintaining healthy bones and teeth;

• normal psychological function;

• normal functioning of the nervous system;

• a reduction in tiredness and fatigue;

• normal protein synthesis;

• and participates in the process of cell division.

Greater focus on magnesium

Science has become increasingly interested in magnesium due to its influence on so many different functions in the body. At the same time, it has been discovered that those who need more magnesium are heavy coffee drinkers and athletes, as excessive coffee consumption and excessive sweating deplete the body's stored magnesium.

Good sources of magnesium

Magnesium can be found in a variety of foods. Those that contain the most magnesium are:

• green leafy vegetables

• almonds

• nuts

• seeds

• fruit

• cabbage

Lack of magnesium

If the diet is low in protein (less than 30g per day), magnesium absorption in the body is reduced. In a situation where the body is low in magnesium, it is possible to maintain normal plasma concentrations by releasing magnesium from the bones (as happens with calcium). Because of this complex mechanism, measuring magnesium levels is not necessarily a useful way to determine whether a person needs to increase their daily intake.

Excess magnesium

When the body gets more magnesium than it needs, it's naturally eliminated through urine. Excessive intake can cause diarrhea, which is also the body's protective mechanism against overdose.

People with kidney failure should not take magnesium supplements unless directed by a doctor.
