Magnesium Complex | 60 tablets

What is Magnesium Complex?

Ovabalance magnesium complex is a nutritional supplement that consists of 2 different forms of magnesium together with the amino acid taurine and 2 vitamins Vitamin B6 and D3.

Magnesium bisglycinate is an organic magnesium compound that is chelated. Chelated magnesium compounds are well absorbed and are also much better tolerated.

Magnesium citrate is also a well-absorbable form of magnesium. This is an organic compound. Organic compounds are absorbed much better than inorganic compounds, such as magnesium oxide or magnesium sulphate.

Taurine is an amino acid that works very well with a magnesium supplement. It improves the absorption of magnesium into the cells.

Vitamin B6 in the form of Pyrodoxal-5-phosphate (P5P). This is the active form of vitamin B6. P5P has the advantage that the vitamin no longer needs to be converted by the body into its biologically active form. In addition, the chance of accumulation is nil in contrast to the non-biologically active form of B6. B6 plays a complementary role to Magnesium.

Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, has a beneficial effect on the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity and is important for the nervous system.

Vitamin D3 and magnesium work closely together. Magnesium is needed to convert vitamin D. If you use magnesium because it is on the low side, supplementing vitamin D is therefore also desirable.

What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is a mineral that contributes to hundreds of processes in our body. Including the functioning of our muscles and the transmission of nerve impulses, it is therefore a widely applicable supplement. Magnesium is naturally present in our food, your body absorbs it at the end of the small intestine. An adult man needs about 300 milligrams of magnesium per day. A woman 350 milligrams of magnesium per day.

If you eat healthy and varied, you should get enough magnesium. However, not all the magnesium you get through food is actually absorbed, only about 20 to 60%. A large part of the magnesium you get through food is also difficult to absorb. Certain substances can hinder the absorption of magnesium.

Phytate is one such substance that prevents the absorption of magnesium. Magnesium is found in whole grain products, but these also contain a high level of phytate (phytic acid). This makes whole grain products a less good source of magnesium.

A magnesium supplement is an important addition to a varied and healthy diet, it is a widely applicable supplement with many health benefits.

Magnesium Complex from Ovabalance

An Ovabalance Magnesium Complex tablet contains 125 mg of magnesium. Two thirds of that is magnesium bisglycinate. And about one third is magnesium citrate. Both are easily absorbable organic forms of magnesium. 

In addition to magnesium, the complex contains substances that support the effect of magnesium or improve its absorption. Taurine, for example: this is an amino acid that improves the absorption of magnesium. Vitamin D and vitamin B6 are also included in this magnesium complex. Vitamin D has many health benefits, but like magnesium, it is also involved in the healthy functioning of muscles and bone formation. In addition, vitamin D also supports the absorption of magnesium in the body. Vitamin B6, like magnesium, supports the natural energy in the body and also helps with fatigue.

Magnesium Complex during pregnancy

During pregnancy, the need for magnesium is higher than normal. Magnesium tablets during pregnancy can be a good supplement if you find it difficult to get it from food. Too low a magnesium level for pregnant women can increase the chance of typical pregnancy complaints such as hard bellies.

If you are trying to conceive, it is good to know that Magnesium is involved in the cell division process.

Which foods contain magnesium?

A balanced diet with balanced food ensures that you get magnesium, the bioavailability (how well your body actually absorbs it) depends on how varied and balanced you eat. You can pay attention to the following foods.

Magnesium is found in, among other things:

• Vegetables, including spinach;
• Fruits, such as bananas;
• Nuts, including almonds, cashews and Brazil nuts;
• Grain products such as whole wheat bread.

Organic vs. inorganic magnesium

In many foods you will find mainly the general inorganic bound magnesium form. This form of magnesium is less well absorbed by the body than the organic bound form. Organic bound forms of magnesium are for example magnesium citrate or magnesium bisglycinate.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound between magnesium and two molecules of glycine. Glycine is an amino acid, a building block of protein. This amino acid-bound variant of magnesium is also called a chelated magnesium compound. These are compounds that can more easily pass the stomach acid in one piece, without splitting. They end up in the intestines and can be absorbed into the body via receptors. These receptors are a kind of receivers that allow the particle into the cell. This makes these magnesium compounds easily absorbable.

Better tolerable

Another advantage of this magnesium compound is that magnesium bisglycinate is better tolerated by many people than other forms of magnesium. It causes fewer gastrointestinal complaints than unchelated forms of magnesium, such as magnesium chloride, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium sulfate.

It is therefore not surprising that the Ovabalance magnesium supplement uses magnesium bisglycinate.

Is the magnesium supplement safe?

When using the recommended dosage of the supplement, magnesium is safe to use. The tolerable upper limit for magnesium supplements has been set at 250 milligrams per day.

NB:

• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose;
• Store Ovabalance Magnesium Complex dry and at room temperature;

• A healthy lifestyle is important. A nutritional supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet.
