Macronutrients and Micronutrients

It's no secret that both macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are important for the optimal functioning of your organism.

Although the first group usually receives more attention, the importance of micronutrients cannot be underestimated.

They have a stronger influence on your organism than you can imagine.

This is especially true for an extremely important mineral - magnesium. SWIPE TO FIND OUT MORE →

Magnesium

Did you know that magnesium is indirectly involved in more than 100 processes in your body?

At the same time, it is an essential nutrient, meaning that the body cannot produce it itself and it must be obtained through a balanced diet.

To make it even clearer, we could compare it to motor oil, because magnesium is as important to our body as motor oil is to the car.

And what happens to a car's engine when it suddenly runs out of engine oil probably doesn't need to be emphasised.

Magnesium is a mineral that, among other things:

• Reduces tiredness and exhaustion and regulates the electrolyte balance,
• Is involved in energy metabolism and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system,
• Helps with muscle function and contributes to protein synthesis,
• Contributes to mental balance, helps towards healthy bones and teeth and is involved in cell division, etc.*

MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY

If you have a magnesium deficiency, the following symptoms can occur:

• Fatigue, Muscle cramps, mood swings, Tense and tired muscles, Inner restlessness, Lack of motivation, Difficulty concentrating and thinking, Sleep disorders, frequent nighttime awakenings, High blood pressure, Headaches and migraines…

If you suffer from one or more of the mentioned complaints, we recommend that you eat a more varied diet and include the following foods in your diet more often:

• Avocado, broccoli, chickpeas, spinach, peas, oats, long grain brown rice, cabbage, almonds, cashews and sunflower seeds.

To function efficiently,

your body needs an average of 375 milligrams of elemental magnesium every day

There are of course individual differences when it comes to the optimal amount, as this depends on age, gender, physical activity, etc. Nevertheless, 375 milligrams have been determined by scientists as the recommended daily allowance (RDA).

If you convert how much of each food you would need to eat to meet your daily needs, the data is as follows →

375 milligrams of magnesium is contained in approximately:

• 90g of sunflower seeds (525 kcal),
• 130g of cashew nuts (718 kcal),
• 220g of almonds (1273 kcal) and 310g of oats (1153 kcal)

It should be taken into account here that magnesium is already absorbed throughout the day through various foods, so large quantities of individual foods would not be required for optimal intake. Provided, of course, that you eat a balanced and varied diet.

However, if you're worried that you're not getting enough magnesium through your diet, it's good to know that you can also take a dietary supplement.

To make choosing the right solution easier, we'll share some vital information with you.

So that you know exactly what to look out for, you should know that magnesium comes in different forms, each of which has its characteristics →

The forms include:

• Magnesium chloride, Magnesium citrate, Magnesium glycinate, Magnesium malate, Magnesium oxide, Magnesium sulfate, Magnesium orotate, Magnesium threonate

The form of magnesium determines the tasks it can perform and how effectively it is absorbed by the body →

Therefore, when choosing the right product, it is very important to ensure that:

• The product contains high-quality magnesium in various forms,
• It does not contain added sugar, which is usually hidden in effervescent tablets or powders and
• The magnesium complex contains elements that work synergistically to improve absorption.

Of course, we took all these factors into account, which led us to develop a fantastic solution.
