Why is magnesium important for our body?
Why does our body need magnesium? Interest in magnesium has increased significantly in recent years. But what is magnesium really good for? Emilis Oldenas – a food agronomist and founder of BioSalma tells more about the mineral extracted from the sea. BioSalma founder Emilis Oldenas Magnesium is a mineral that controls several essential processes in the body. Among other things, it helps strengthen the immune system and helps maintain normal muscle function. Magnesium is also important for normal nervous system function. Magnesium is naturally found in food. Dark green leafy vegetables, legumes, potatoes, fresh herbs, and whole grain products (in wholemeal bread and wholemeal pasta) are rich in magnesium. For many, the recommended amount of magnesium obtained from a balanced diet is sufficient. Meanwhile, others need a little help. Overdosing on magnesium - almost impossible Measuring magnesium levels in the body is difficult, so it is not always easy to determine if there is a deficiency. Only 2% of magnesium is in the blood, and the rest is distributed in other tissues, such as bones. This may be one of the reasons why magnesium is considered a mineral that is rarely deficient. "The body needs magnesium to support the immune system" – Since magnesium is such an important mineral for many processes occurring in the body, the most important thing for the body is to have magnesium in the blood. If you do not get magnesium from food, it is removed from bones and other tissues. The body cannot store a large amount of magnesium, so the body must be supplied evenly with this mineral. It is practically impossible to overdose on magnesium. If a person consumes too much, the excess is simply excreted from the body," says Emilis Oldenas. Marine origin Sustainability is very important for BioSalma food supplements when choosing raw materials and the process applied in preparing food supplements. When BioSalma decided to include magnesium capsules in their range, it was decided to produce them from magnesium of marine origin. Magnesium is a dissolved salt, naturally found in the sea. However, this should not be confused with the saltiness we feel when sipping seawater. When the mineral is extracted from seawater, it is passed through calcium oxide, which causes a reaction with magnesium and forms solid particles. These particles are then washed with fresh water, resulting in magnesium powder, which is later used as raw material for BioSalma tablets. – Our idea was always simple. For us, it was about creating an effective and sustainable product. When magnesium is extracted from the sea in our unique way, we also preserve 72 other trace elements, which help the body absorb magnesium. Moreover, we included zinc, copper, and vitamin B6 in the formula," says Emilis Oldenas. He explains that this is because minerals complement each other perfectly. If you lack a certain mineral, the body seeks balance and absorbs what you need. Why is it important to take magnesium? – The body needs magnesium to support the immune system and strong bone structure. Magnesium also helps normal cell division. It has also been observed that magnesium helps reduce fatigue, calms, and helps to relax more easily," he says and continues: – The health benefits of magnesium also have similarities with the benefits obtained from zinc, copper, and vitamin B6, which we included in our capsule. Zinc, vitamin B6, and copper help maintain normal immune system function. These minerals also help cells divide, reduce fatigue and exhaustion. So vitamins and minerals balance magnesium levels well. We believe this is the strength of the product. BioSalma magnesium is very effective. It contains magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate. Magnesium hydroxide is of marine origin, and its unique composition ensures a high concentration in one tablet and good bioavailability. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for food products.
