Vitakruid Magnesium 200 Complex 90 tablets - Mineral preparation

Magnesium is at the basis of over 300 biochemical processes in our body. An inadequate magnesium balance can therefore manifest itself in countless ways. This is why we decided to combine all the organic magnesium forms we offer separately into one supplement. In this way, we combine the specific applications of the different forms, making Magnesium Complex a widely applicable supplement.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound between magnesium and two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. Magnesium taurate is a combination of the amino acid-like substance l-taurine and magnesium. The bonds to l-taurine and glycine make it easier for magnesium to cross the blood-brain barrier. Subsequently, the absorption in brain tissue of magnesium taurate and bisglycinate is also better than other magnesium forms.

Magnesium malate is a compound of magnesium and malic acid; magnesium citrate is in turn bound to citric acid. Both acids are part of the so-called citric acid cycle. This biochemical system guarantees most of the energy our body produces in the cells. Moreover, research shows that our muscle tissue absorbs magnesium malate and citrate relatively well compared to other magnesium compounds.

Organic and chelated forms
Magnesium malate, taurate, bisglycinate and citrate are organically bound forms of magnesium. Inorganic magnesium forms such as magnesium chloride, magnesium oxide and magnesium sulphate are less bioavailable, and therefore less well absorbed. For example, magnesium sulphate has only a bioavailability of 4%. This means that a dose of 200 mg of magnesium sulphate is effective for only a mere 8 mg.

Our daily diet generally contains inorganically bound magnesium. This is because these are the forms found in the soil and absorbed by the plants we eat every day. Examples include magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate. Our bodies therefore absorb only a small fraction of the magnesium we get from regular food.

The best forms we know are magnesium chelates such as, magnesium taurate, magnesium malate and magnesium bisglycinate. The structure of an amino acid chelate is so strong that our gastric juice cannot split the form. This is due to the amino acids in the chelated form, which act as a protective layer for the magnesium, so to speak. The magnesium bisglycinate thus reaches our intestines as a complete element, where our body then absorbs the valuable mineral. Furthermore, the amino acid chelated nature ensures less gastrointestinal discomfort, compared to unchelated magnesium forms.

Vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate
Vitamin B6 improves magnesium absorption. In addition, the vitamin has many scientifically supported health-promoting effects for the body. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (the biologically active, coenzymatic form of vitamin B6) has better bioavailability and is safer than pyridoxine. We use only the form P-5-P in our products.
