Significance, Use and Bioavailability
Magnesium is one of the key minerals in human metabolism and plays an important role for those who are physically active, as this electrolyte is lost through sweat. Magnesium can help reduce tiredness and fatigue and is said to contribute to normal energy metabolism, normal muscle function, normal electrolyte balance, and normal nervous system function.
How to consume magnesium appropriately
For practical reasons, it is recommended not to take magnesium immediately before or during intense physical activity. Magnesium supplements should be taken after exercise or in the evening due to their purgative effect, ideally in combination with a meal or a recovery drink.
Better absorption of magnesium with organic magnesium compounds
Magnesium is used in dietary supplements in the form of various mineral salts. Organic magnesium compounds such as magnesium citrate, magnesium lactate, or magnesium bisglycinate have higher bioavailability and are better absorbed by the body than inorganic compounds such as magnesium oxide or magnesium sulfate, which are often excreted without being metabolized.

As a result, the capsules are formulated without magnesium oxide and are free of additives and unnecessary binders. Recommended for daily use during periods of increased physical exertion, stress, or magnesium deficiency.
Does magnesium have a beneficial effect on acute muscle cramps?
Although magnesium deficiency is often considered the primary cause of muscle cramps among athletes: there is no clinically reliable evidence to support this assumption. In a athletic context, muscle cramps are often more closely related to muscular overexertion or an imbalance in fluid and electrolyte levels. Acute intake of magnesium during a competition is therefore generally not the first choice for relieving a cramp. Additionally, magnesium can cause gastrointestinal issues to people with sensitive stomachs. Products with bitter-sour or slightly spicy components, such as Muscle Relax, are the better option in such situations, as they stimulate neural reflexes through sensory stimuli in the mouth and throat, which might help relieve cramps.
