Capsules with highly assimilable Magnesium High concentration of Magnesium: 170 mg/capsule From 2 sources: Bisglycinate and Citrate With anti-doping certificate by Informed-Sport Organic salts for greater absorption and bioavailability Only 3 ingredients: no additives or excipients Free of allergens and Suitable for Vegans Magnesium Caps DUAL are vegetable capsules based on 2 highly assimilable sources of Magnesium, specifically the organic salts Bisglycinate and Magnesium Citrate. No more, no less, that is, without additional excipients or additives, just the vegetable capsule that covers it, which gives it high purity, which is why they are also 100% allergen-free. Magnesium is the 4th most abundant mineral in the body, which is why it is very important for humans, since it fulfills countless functions and is necessary for the correct functioning of cardiovascular, immune and hormonal responses (Musso, CG et al. , IUN. 2009). Although following a balanced diet, with sufficient intake of vegetables, should be enough to have the necessary daily contributions of Magnesium, we see that according to some studies (Mertens, E. et al., EJN. 2.019; Rosanoff, A. et al., NR. 2012) this is not the case and a large part of the population consumes less than what is recommended daily (approximately 400 mg/day in men and 300 mg/day in women). This is due to the high consumption of processed foods, the impoverishment of water and crop soils, etc. Therefore, in many cases it is necessary to supplement. Furthermore, these deficiencies can occur not only due to a lack of sufficient magnesium intake, but also because there may be interactions with other micronutrients (Iron and Zinc), malabsorption due to the use of drugs (Omeprazole, diuretics, etc.) or, simply, physiological factors that hinder its absorption (older age and certain diseases such as diabetes, Crohn's, etc.) or that increase its excretion (kidney disease) and, finally, in which a greater amount of it is simply needed, such as, for example. For example, during pregnancy, breastfeeding or intense physical exercise. Benefits for athletes As we have just mentioned, physiological conditions that increase energy demands, such as physical exercise, also increase Magnesium demands. This mineral intervenes in countless fundamental processes for athletes such as, for example, the correct functioning, together with Calcium, of muscle contraction and relaxation, as well as the processes of anabolism, that is, creation and regeneration. muscular. In fact, magnesium levels have been related to testosterone, one of the main anabolic hormones, as well as to strength, muscle mass (Valenzuela, PL et al., EJN. 2019) and jump values (Santos, DA et al. al., MR. 2.011). By acting as a cofactor for hundreds of intracellular enzymes, it is directly related to the obtaining and release of energy, such as the biochemical processes that are related to oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. It intervenes in the transmission of nervous impulses and is especially related to neuromuscular transmission processes, as well as electrolyte balance, which could explain its possible involvement in muscle cramps (ramps). Furthermore, at a structural level, again together with Calcium, it is part of the bone, teeth and soft tissues, the extracellular fluid and is involved in the maintenance of cell membranes. Its effectiveness as an ergogenic aid, that is, it improves performance, has not been proven, but what does seem is that having low levels of this mineral is negative for performance, for example, making light exercises more expensive (Lukaski , HC et al., HNM. 2002). Some organizations as important worldwide as the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) grant important benefits to Magnesium, such as those published in 2012, which have to do with everything mentioned above and are summarized as follows: Magnesium helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, and contributes to: normal energy metabolism,...
