AGEless "Magnesium" contains magnesium citrate. Magnesium citrate is considered a magnesium compound with high bioavailability and a very good price/performance ratio. It is usually well tolerated, in contrast to magnesium oxide, which is dosed more highly but is also available more slowly and is more irritating to the intestines. In addition, it is quickly absorbed by the body, in contrast to magnesium carbonate, for example, which is continuously reabsorbed over a longer period of time. Magnesium is the mineral for energy metabolism, bones and muscles. It also supports the functioning of the psyche and the nervous system. This makes an adequate supply of magnesium essential for humans.
Our bones are the main storage of magnesium. People who have to take diuretics lose a lot of magnesium. There is a functional connection between insulin and magnesium.
If there is a lack of magnesium in the body, this is noticeable in various symptoms. Cramps and overstimulation of the muscles occur, resulting in tingling and numbness. Furthermore, the body temperature can drop and fatigue can occur. Long-term consequences of a magnesium deficiency are the calcification of blood vessels and kidneys. A connection between a magnesium deficiency and disorders of the cardiovascular system such as angina pectoris (“chest tightness”) is also being discussed.
A magnesium deficiency causes too much potassium loss in the cells. This leads to an overload of the cells with sodium and calcium. This in turn can put the body under stress. Therefore, magnesium is also considered important against stress. Because it inhibits the influx of calcium into the heart muscle cells and the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline.
