For healthy growth, a well-developed nervous system and supple muscles
Magnesium is a versatile mineral with a wide range of functions in our bodies. It contributes to:
– maintaining normal bones
– normal functioning of the nervous system
– a reduction in fatigue and tiredness
– a normal energy-yielding metabolism
– normal muscle function
– normal psychological function
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal-5′-phosphate) contributes to:
– normal functioning of the nervous system
– normal psychological function
– a reduction in fatigue and tiredness
1-3 per day, depending on age. Right before breakfast, lunch and bedtime.
For optimal absorption of minerals, it is best not to take them along with a meal of bread or dairy.
With magnesium deficiency, because of the absorption of magnesium through the intestine, it is very important to spread the intake over the day. A daily dose of 400 mg spread throughout the day is ideal for adults to supplement magnesium deficiencies.
For stress and tension, ideal to combine with Alfa Relax and/or Alfa Energy
What can you do yourself?
Supplement your meals with foods rich in magnesium and minerals:
Eat these along with foods rich in vitamin C, such as fruits and vegetables.
Additional magnesium is needed during periods of growth. As during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, that’s when the fetus grows the fastest. Extra magnesium plays a role in the baby’s birth weight and brain development. Magnesium also aids in the growth and development of children’s bones, teeth and muscles.
Do not take magnesium-rich foods together with phytic acid-rich products such as bread and legumes. This is because phytic acid binds the minerals, causing them to be excreted just like that. Fluorine from toothpaste also reduces magnesium absorption.
Drink plenty of water, possibly with lemon juice, tea or soup. In a properly hydrated body, magnesium is better absorbed by the cells. Drinks with caffeine (such as coffee and cola), high sugar (such as soft drinks and alcohol) dehydrate your body and flush out magnesium. Medications such as antacids and diuretics also increase magnesium excretion.
