Magnesium is a mineral that plays an essential role in many of the human body’s important functions. As a cofactor of 600 enzymes, magnesium is involved in numerous metabolic processes.

In conjunction with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the most important energy carrier for all cells, magnesium ensures the activation of ATP-dependent enzymes. These functionally important proteins control vital processes in glucose and fat metabolism, and are linked to many other biochemical reactions in the body.

Magnesium has a regulatory effect on bio-membranes and electrolytes, which means it can have an effect on muscle contractions, the transmission of stimuli to nerve cells, vascular tone, blood pressure, and heart rhythm.

Magnesium’s ability to form complexes with different biomolecules also makes this mineral an important stabilizer for the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, which are responsible for storing and converting genetic information.

Finally, magnesium also has a major impact on bone health: It is a building block of hydroxyapatite, a ceramic material, which is the main component of bone substance, and activates the growth and proliferation of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts). [1] 

Within the human body, magnesium is primarily stored in cellular form – around half in muscle and other soft tissue, with the remainder stored in bone tissue. Only about 1 percent of the body’s total magnesium is found in the blood.

The magnesium concentration in the blood serum is kept physiologically constant. It can only be detected in blood serum if too little magnesium is supplied over a very long period of time. Even when the serum concentration is reported as normal, there could still be an intracellular magnesium deficiency.[2] [3] [4] 

A magnesium deficiency is not easy to detect with conventional blood tests. But there are early warning signs that can point to such a defect:

1. Muscle cramps
2. Muscle twitches
3. Muscle weakness
4. Fatigue and exhaustion
5. Inner restlessness and feelings of anxiety
6. Mood swings
7. Trouble falling asleep

Magnesium Complex 500 contains only natural ingredients, all of which have an excellent safety profile. However, the intake of very high amounts of magnesium can lead to mild gastrointestinal complaints and diarrhea – so the recommended daily dose should never be exceeded under any circumstances. In order to prevent this undesirable effect, it is advisable to spread your daily dose of magnesium across several intakes. Optimal times of day for taking Magnesium Complex 500 are, for example, in the morning and evening before meals and after physical activity.

Magnesium is not recommended for children under the age of four. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should discuss any planned magnesium supplement intake with their doctor.

If you are taking any other medication, you should also seek medical advice before planning to take magnesium in order to rule out possible interactions.

Taking Magnesium Complex 500 can help prevent any deficiency of this important mineral in times of increased need.

Magnesium Complex 500 is therefore particularly suitable for people who:

• suffer from high levels of professional or personal stress and have difficulty relaxing
• are prone to muscle cramps or wish to prevent muscle cramps
• take part in sports demanding high levels of strength or endurance
• find it difficult to relax mentally
