The benefits of magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral for our health. It is involved in over 350 enzymatic reactions.

The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) recognizes several health benefits of magnesium, based on scientifically validated claims. Here are the main positive effects of magnesium according to the EFSA:

- Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance
- Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
- Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
- Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function
- Magnesium contributes to normal protein synthesis
- Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function
- Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones
- Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth
- Magnesium has a role in the process of cell division

The Benefits of Citrate

Citrate is a naturally occurring compound in the body that plays an essential role in numerous physiological processes:

- Improved mineral absorption
- Prevention of kidney stones
- Regulation of acid-base balance / support for bone mineralization
- Metabolic role / energy / longevity
- Gut health / mucosal barrier

FAQ: All About Our Magnesium

Which magnesium to choose?

Magnesium is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the body. It is involved in over 350 enzymatic reactions, helps reduce fatigue, supports nervous and muscular balance, and contributes to maintaining normal bones. However, a large part of the French population has insufficient intake. Magnesium supplementation is therefore sometimes recommended, but it is still necessary to know which one to choose, as there are several forms available.

**The different forms of magnesium**
There are two main categories:

* **Inorganic salts (oxides, hydroxide, carbonate, sulfate):** these are less expensive, but their assimilation is limited and they can cause digestive discomfort.
* **Organic salts (citrate, bisglycinate, lactate, malate):** better assimilated by the body, they are generally better tolerated and more effective in correcting a deficiency.

**Why choose magnesium citrate?**
Magnesium citrate is an organic form that combines magnesium with citric acid. It offers several major advantages:

* **Excellent bioavailability:** magnesium citrate is one of the most readily absorbed forms of magnesium by the body.
* **Rapid action:** it effectively reduces fatigue and supports the nervous system.
* **Good digestive tolerance:** unlike magnesium oxide, it rarely causes intestinal problems unless taken in very high doses.
* **Acid-base balance:** thanks to citric acid, it helps regulate the body's pH.

It is therefore a particularly relevant choice for people who are stressed, tired, or have increased magnesium needs (athletes, students, pregnant women with medical advice).

**In summary**

Among the various existing forms, magnesium citrate stands out for its excellent assimilation and good tolerance. It is therefore a preferred choice for improving magnesium intake, reducing fatigue, and better managing daily stress.

How to take magnesium?

Magnesium citrate is one of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium. To fully benefit from its effects on fatigue, stress, muscle recovery, and sleep, it is important to know when and how to take it.

Recommended Dosage:
The dose ranges from 200 to 400 mg of elemental magnesium per day, depending on individual needs.

Best Time to Take:
With a meal: This improves absorption and reduces digestive upset.
In the evening: Recommended if you are looking to promote relaxation and restorative sleep.

In summary:

Take your Magnesium Citrate with a meal, preferably in the evening, at a dose of 200 to 400 mg/day of elemental magnesium, to support your energy, reduce fatigue, and improve your well-being.

Why supplement with magnesium continuously, and not just as a course of treatment?

Magnesium is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of our body. It is involved in over 350 enzymatic reactions, playing a key role in energy production, nervous system regulation, muscle function, bone health, and many other vital functions. However, a large part of the population suffers from chronic magnesium deficiency, often unknowingly.

Stress and fatigue: silent magnesium thieves
In our modern lifestyles, stress is omnipresent—whether emotional, professional, or environmental. Stress increases the urinary loss of magnesium. In other words, the more stressed we are, the more magnesium we lose, which weakens our resistance to stress… creating a vicious cycle.

Furthermore, a depleted diet (processed foods, intensive farming, excess sugar, alcohol, coffee, etc.) further exacerbates deficiencies. The result: chronic fatigue, nervousness, sleep disturbances, muscle tension, headaches, and even palpitations or digestive problems can become permanent.

Why 1 to 2 month courses are not enough
It is common to see recommendations for magnesium courses lasting one or two months, often in autumn or spring. This can temporarily relieve some symptoms, but it is not sufficient in the majority of cases.

Indeed:

The deficiency is often chronic, not seasonal.
Magnesium is eliminated daily: it does not accumulate in the body long-term.
Once stopped, symptoms quickly return, especially if stress factors persist.
Thus, taking an occasional course is like putting a bandage on an open wound: it provides relief but does not resolve the cause.

Continuous supplementation: a more effective approach
For people exposed to regular stress, chronic fatigue, or who show suggestive symptoms, low but regular supplementation is often preferable. The idea is not to overdose, but to maintain a stable intake, in addition to a balanced diet.

A moderate daily intake (200 to 400 mg/day depending on needs and the type of magnesium used) is better tolerated and more effective than a massive, one-off course.

Listen to your body and adapt
Some people may quickly feel the benefits of a course, but for many, the effects appear in the medium term. Regularity is therefore essential.

Furthermore, it is always preferable to combine supplementation with an overall healthy lifestyle: stress reduction, improved sleep, a diet rich in green vegetables, legumes, oilseeds, magnesium-rich mineral water…

In summary:
Stress and chronic fatigue increase magnesium loss.
A large part of the population is deficient without knowing it.
Occasional courses are often insufficient to correct a long-term deficiency.
Regular supplementation, even light, is often more effective and lasting.
Choosing well-absorbed magnesium that suits your body is essential.

In case of doubt or persistent symptoms, it is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

What are the signs of magnesium deficiency?

Magnesium deficiency can manifest in several ways, often subtly at first. The most common signs include:

- Persistent fatigue, lack of energy despite good sleep;
- Nervousness, irritability, anxiety, or difficulty relaxing;
- Sleep disturbances (difficulty falling asleep, nighttime awakenings);
- Muscle cramps, tremors, or eyelid twitching;
- Palpitations, a feeling of a racing heart;
- Decreased concentration or memory.

Magnesium citrate is often recommended to correct these imbalances because it is a highly absorbable form that is gentle on the digestive system. It helps to effectively restore magnesium reserves, thereby improving muscle relaxation, sleep quality, and stress resistance.

What are the benefits of regular magnesium supplementation for stress and and fatigue?

Magnesium plays an essential role in the proper functioning of the nervous system and energy production. Regular supplementation, particularly in the form of magnesium citrate, helps to:

- Better manage stress: magnesium helps regulate the release of cortisol (the stress hormone) and promotes better nervous relaxation;
- Reduce fatigue: it participates in the conversion of food into energy, thus supporting daily vitality;
- Improve sleep quality, often disrupted during periods of stress;
- Promote emotional balance, by contributing to the production of serotonin, the "well-being hormone."

Magnesium citrate, thanks to its high bioavailability, ensures a constant and effective supply, ideal for prolonged use without digestive discomfort.
