Which magnesium supplement is right for you?

Magnesium compounds are often offered that are difficult or even unavailable to the human organism.

Compounds that can be used well are:

Magnesium chlorides, phosphates and citrates .

And you will find exactly these ingredients in our HS Activa magnesium preparations .

Magnesium chloride, as well as magnesium citrate and magnesium phosphate, help you compensate for a magnesium deficiency and counteract all deficiency symptoms.

1st proportion: magnesium citrate

Our Magnesium 300 is a combination of magnesium and citrate, the salt of citric acid. Magnesium citrate is considered the magnesium compound with the best bioavailability because it can be absorbed and utilized quickly and easily by the body.

Magnesium citrate is particularly good at speeding up intestinal movement, which aids digestion and leads to easier bowel movements.

Magnesium citrate is particularly suitable for anyone who suffers from chronic constipation or slow digestion .

In addition, the citrate helps to prevent kidney stones or even dissolve them.

2nd proportion: magnesium phosphate

In addition to the magnesium content, the magnesium phosphate also contains phosphorus, which plays a crucial role in cell energy (ATP).

It is also an essential link in our bone and tooth metabolism, even more important than calcium!

In the blood plasma, phosphate acts as a buffer and is involved in the regulation of the acid-base balance!

Intake:

You can easily chew our Magnesium 300 pellets or swallow them with liquid!

Our magnesium chloride is in the form of flakes/powder , bound to chloride, the salt of hydrochloric acid (= hydrochloric acid).

It is extracted from a depth of 1,600 m from the Zechstein Sea, which dried up 250 million years ago. The Zechstein Sea is located in the Netherlands and is considered the purest, natural source of magnesium worldwide.

intake

The magnesium chloride can be stirred into water and drunk .

It is particularly suitable for anyone who does not want to swallow capsules .

It can also be used externally, which is why we also offer it in the form of magnesium oil (more in the next section). Magnesium chloride can also be used for a soothing foot bath (approx. 100 g per foot bath).

The highly energized HS–ACTIVA magnesium oil also contains magnesium chloride (the description and explanation can be found in the section above).

It is called an oil because it feels oily on the skin. However, an oil film does not form.

Intake:

You can apply the oil to the skin (e.g. shoulders, arms, thighs, calves or stomach).

It supplies the body with magnesium transdermally (via the skin).

It is particularly suitable for cracked and dry skin, pain and cramps.

With the help of magnesium oil, the magnesium reaches exactly the places where muscle tension and pain occur and promises quick relief.

• • One stroke of the 50 ml bottle transports approximately 86 mg of magnesium chloride , of which approximately 10 mg is pure magnesium .
  • One stroke of the 200 ml bottle transports approximately 58 mg of magnesium chloride , of which approximately 7 mg is pure magnesium .

Rub the desired areas of skin with magnesium oil and leave it on for 20 minutes . Afterwards you can wash it off, but you don't have to.

If you have sensitive skin, you may experience a slight burning or itching sensation when using it. This is indicative of a defect that is already pending !

So initially test the magnesium oil carefully on a small area of ​​the house. It is so highly pure that you could also add it to your drinking water!

Attention special tip:

Footballers, cyclists and even runners: rub your entire lower legs before your game, tour or route and delay your calf cramps !

The absorption of magnesium is improved by the mineral potassium (NOT CALCIUM).

Therefore, you should definitely make sure you get enough potassium .

Good sources of potassium are green leafy vegetables (lamb's lettuce, cress, parsley, kale, etc.) but also fennel, parsnips and radishes as well as nuts and seeds (e.g. pumpkin seeds, almonds, etc.).

And a good vitamin B6 level is also a rarely known helper that has a positive influence on the absorption of magnesium.

In addition, magnesium should not be taken together with dairy products, as their high calcium content could lead to an inhibition of magnesium absorption .

It is best to divide the intake of magnesium into 1-3 portions a day (depending on the daily dose) so that it can be optimally absorbed by the body.

For example, in the morning for breakfast and in the evening before going to sleep. In the evening , magnesium has a strong relaxing effect, which is very pleasant for falling asleep .

The German Society for Nutrition recommends a daily dose of 300 mg magnesium .

In order for these 300 mg to reach the blood, we need 580 mg of magnesium , i.e. twice as much per day.

The best way to determine your personal needs is to look at your life situation and your complaints.

For example, some medications are real magnesium robbers and require an increased magnesium dosage in order to cover the daily requirement. Such as antihypertensives, cortisone, birth control pills, laxatives, immunosuppressants, etc.

A higher magnesium requirement is necessary...

• • during pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • in competitive sports (including hobby athletes)
  • in old age
  • in stressful situations (stress hormones ensure increased magnesium excretion in the urine)
  • in kidney diseases
  • diabetes
  • anorexia
  • chronic inflammatory bowel diseases
  • an aluminum load (aluminum displaces magnesium)
  • with vitamin B1 and B6 deficiency

For example, if you are stressed or have high sporting demands, you may consume 900 mg daily .

Significant health improvements should be observed after 3 - 4 months of magnesium supplementation at the latest .

The effect of magnesium usually becomes apparent after just a few days , and even directly in the case of cramps.
