Magnesium is a mineral that can be found in large quantities in nature and in our body. More than half of the magnesium in the human body is stored in the bones and the other half in muscles and soft tissues. It is related to the activation of more than 600 enzymatic reactions and chemical processes in the body, being key in cellular metabolism and energy generation.

Magnesium Citrate is a compound based on the combination of magnesium and citric acid that makes magnesium have a faster absorption and an approximate bioavailability of 30%. This mixture is made because if we took magnesium alone, without binding to any other molecule, practically nothing would be absorbed. It helps convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy at the cellular level, which explains the high levels of magnesium found in mitochondria.

Because magnesium is essential in numerous cellular processes such as protein and nucleic acid synthesis, glucose assimilation, nerve transmission and conduction, regulation of vascular tone, proper bone formation or regulation of calcium and potassium metabolism, any alteration in magnesium metabolism can interfere with these biological mechanisms.

Some pathologies, such as those mentioned below, can lead to low magnesium levels:

​

• Chronic stress

• Diabetes

• Excessive sweating.

• Palpitations

• Heavy menstruation

• Kidney disease.

• Anxiety, Insomnia

• Irritable bowel syndrome.

• Irritability, Confusion

• Muscle weakness

• Nausea, Vomiting

• Muscle spasms

• Agitation

• Low blood pressure
