BIOCLINIC NATURALS Magnesium Citra-Mal x 90 caps
Magnesium CitraMal™ (citrate and malate) 150 mg – natural product, source of highly absorbable forms of magnesium.
CitraMal™ Magnesium provides two forms of magnesium (citrate and malate) with superior bioavailability. The combination of magnesium citrate and magnesium malate is excellently absorbed and is particularly suitable for reduced stomach acidity and difficult digestion.
CitraMal™ magnesium benefits cellular energy production, insulin sensitivity and the normal state of the cardiovascular system, bones, teeth, muscles and tissues.
Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 metabolic reactions and a key regulator in numerous cellular functions, ion channels, signaling and metabolic pathways. It takes part in glycolysis (the process of breaking down glucose), oxidation of fatty acids, DNA synthesis, etc.
Long-term magnesium deficiency is associated with a number of metabolic and inflammatory diseases, such as insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, as well as osteoporosis, cancer and many others.
Many recent studies emphasize the particularly important role of magnesium in glucose homeostasis. This important mineral improves insulin sensitivity and regulates beta-cell functions, and its deficiency is associated with the development of chronic inflammation, metabolic syndrome and obesity.
Magnesium supplementation lowers serum glucose and "good" cholesterol levels, and improves insulin sensitivity in both diabetics and healthy individuals.
Intracellular magnesium levels decrease as a result of regular consumption of alcohol, salty foods, coffee, carbonated drinks, diets high in calcium, high levels of stress. Supplying magnesium through food can prove difficult, as the presence of the mineral in soils continues to decline. Adequate magnesium intake is critical for resistance to stress, muscle relaxation, normal blood pressure levels, optimal bone mineral density, blood sugar regulation, and much more.
In food supplements, magnesium and other minerals are offered in combination with substances that can be organic and inorganic. Organic forms are distinguished by a much higher degree of absorption, binality and active action in the body. In Magnesium CitraMal™ magnesium is bound to organic substances - citric acid (citrate) and malic acid (malate). This means that here magnesium is associated with organic substances such as citric and malic acids.
Magnesium citrate. This common form of magnesium has a mild laxative effect as it attracts water to the colon. Besides being an excellent source of magnesium, it relieves constipation naturally and without health risks.
Magnesium citrate also provides benefits for the kidneys as it reduces the risk of complications from kidney stones. The reason is that it chelates oxalate compounds entering the body through food. In healthy people, oxalate compounds are neutralized by beneficial gut bacteria and excreted in the feces. However, in some conditions and diseases, xalates accumulate in the body and worsen symptoms.
It has been established that excessive consumption of foods that are a source of oxalates complicates the condition of people with kidney stones. Taking magnesium citrate in these cases is a good option to prevent this negative effect.
Foods containing oxalates are also contraindicated in chronic cystitis, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, etc.
Magnesium malate . The most suitable form of magnesium for fatigue and weak tone. According to many studies, magnesium malate is also a very good choice for depression, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Malic acid is known to be involved in the Krebs cycle, a chain of reactions in the body that generates much of the cellular energy. Therefore, magnesium malate supplements are effective in chronic fatigue syndrome, depressive states, etc.
