Organic magnesium from GSE: the vital mineral for body and mind
Without magnesium, the human body would probably be one thing above all: cramped and tired. This is because the body needs the mineral not only for many processes that serve to generate energy, but also for muscle function, normal psychological function and the nervous system. It therefore plays an important role alongside various B vitamins and iron play a role in the management of fatigue symptoms.
Like many other substances, magnesium is essential - which in nutritional science means more than just "important". In this context, "essential" means that the body cannot produce it itself and must therefore obtain it from our daily diet. Good sources of magnesium include wholegrain products, pulses (especially soybeans), unpeeled rice, dark chocolate, nuts, seeds and kernels (especially pumpkin seeds). In comparison, vegetables, fruit, meat and dairy products tend to be low in magnesium. Stress, physical exertion, pregnancy and breastfeeding increase the magnesium requirement, which according to the EFSA* is around 375 mg per day for adults. If this amount is not achieved through food and drink alone, taking a good organic food supplement such as Magnesium Compact from GSE can help.
Muscles, bones, teeth & co. - nothing works without magnesium
As magnesium is mainly stored in muscles and bones, larger or muscular people not only carry more of it around with them - they also have a higher daily requirement. This explains why athletes need to keep a particularly close eye on their magnesium levels: they consume a lot of electrolytes, including magnesium, through frequent muscle strain and sweating. If it is not sufficiently "replenished", this can lead to muscle cramps, for example. From a biochemical point of view, this is due to the stress-induced influx of calcium into the muscle cells, which causes the muscle to contract. This contraction can only be released again if its best friend magnesium is present in sufficient quantities. The body also needs magnesium to build new muscles because it is involved in protein synthesis and cell division. The same applies to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth: they cannot do without magnesium either.
Why magnesium from organic algae?
As a manufacturer of natural organic food supplements, we have found an ideal source of magnesium in the green algae Ulva lactuca. The multicellular algae, which resembles a slightly translucent lettuce leaf, is also known as sea lettuce. From April to October, the algae have the highest nutrient content and are carefully harvested by hand. After gentle drying and extraction, they are pressed into easy-to-swallow tablets. Our trusted partners guarantee certified organic quality. GSE Magnesium Compact is vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free and free from undesirable residues.
