Magnesium Supplements

Magnesium is a nutrient (or mineral/element) essential in helping our bodies to function.

Magnesium is part of more than 600 different enzyme processes in the body, many of which contribute to normal muscle function, nervous system function, and psychological functions. Magnesium is also important for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.

Other potential benefits of magnesium have also been studied in a wide range of areas, including blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, sleep and migraines.

When taking magnesium supplements, a dose of 200mg-400mg is recommended per day, depending on your diet.

Magnesium supplements from Pharma Nord contain a complex of three different Magnesium compounds: acetate, hydroxide and carbonate. This ensures good bioavailability and is gentle on the gut.

Magnesium Deficiency

Magnesium deficiency is very common. Magnesium can be excreted when we are stressed and eating a high caffeine, high sugar diet.

If you fidget, have restless legs, suffer from anxiety, have hypertension or palpitations, you could need more magnesium in your diet. Magnesium is believed to have an anti-hypertensive effect and may help with sleep patterns.

Magnesium levels in the body deplete following intense physical activity, or by drinking alcohol. Many individuals may not have an adequate intake of magnesium, because of their reliance on processed foods, which contain little magnesium.

What is Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral; although the human body contains a relatively small amount (approximately 25g, 60% of which is in the skeleton), magnesium plays a vital role in the normal functioning of the body.

Magnesium used in supplements may occur in several chemical forms; magnesium oxide is the least expensive but is poorly absorbed, magnesium hydroxide is the form most readily absorbed, whilst magnesium acetate and magnesium carbonate are least likely to cause digestive system upset.

What do nutrient units mean?

Relative to the food we eat, the size of individual nutrients are actually incredibly small. As a result, we need to use units other than grammes (g) to describe them. Here’s what the common units for nutrients are:

Grammes (G)- often used to describe nutritional powders. Most teaspoons of powder weigh approximately 5g.

Milligrams (Mg)- 1000mg is equal to 1g

Micrograms (Mcg or μg)- 1000μg is equal to 1mg

International Units (IU)- Slightly more complex than milligrams (mg) and micrograms (μg), International Units measure differently from nutrient to nutrient. The most common nutrients that are likely to be measured in IU are vitamins D, E and A.

Vitamin D: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.025 μg of D2 or D3
Vitamin A: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.3 mcg retinol
Beta-carotene (provitamin A): 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.6 μg of beta carotene
Vitamin E: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol
