Magnesium – The Calming Mineral

Integral to over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, Magnesium is an essential mineral with far-reaching benefits. As we age, our body’s ability to absorb Magnesium and other nutrients declines, leading to various health issues – from muscle fatigue to sleep disturbances, bone density loss and more. While Magnesium supplementation is proven to reduce symptoms of deficiency, not all Magnesium supplements are created equal, and emerging research suggests Magnesium Malate is more easily absorbed than other forms of the mineral. In our effort to select the most bioavailable, efficacious nutrients, we’ve changed the Magnesium Oxide to Magnesium Malate in our upgraded Morning & Night formulation for maximum impact.

What is Magnesium?

Magnesium Malate is a compound made up of Magnesium and malic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in apples and other fruits. This combination allows for enhanced absorption of Magnesium, a key mineral responsible for various bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, energy production, and bone health. The presence of malic acid in Magnesium Malate improves its bioavailability, ensuring more effective absorption than Magnesium Oxide, which is less readily absorbed by the body.

Recent studies have highlighted the advantages of Magnesium Malate over other Magnesium supplements. Research published in The Journal of the American College of Nutrition reveals that Magnesium Malate leads to more efficient absorption, offering greater health benefits with lower dosages than Magnesium Oxide. This makes Magnesium Malate a more effective option for those looking to address the typical age-related decline in Magnesium levels.

The Top 5 Benefits of Magnesium Malate

  1. Muscle Recovery: Magnesium Malate facilitates the production of ATP, supporting faster muscle recovery and reducing fatigue.

  2. Improved Sleep Quality: Magnesium Malate’s ability to regulate neurotransmitters promotes deeper, more restful sleep.

  3. Cellular Health: Its superior absorption enhances cellular function, contributing to the maintenance of healthy tissues.

  4. Cognitive Function: Magnesium Malate has been shown to support cognitive health, improving memory and reducing age-related decline.

  5. Bone Strength: Magnesium is vital for calcium metabolism, and Magnesium Malate supports bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

How Magnesium Reduces the Signs of Ageing

Magnesium Malate supplementation is particularly beneficial as we age, addressing several common issues associated with ageing, from muscle deterioration and sleep problems to cognitive decline and bone health. Here’s a breakdown of how Magnesium Malate directly influences the ageing process:

Muscle Recovery and Function: Muscle mass and strength naturally decrease with age, but Magnesium Malate helps to counteract this. By facilitating ATP production, Magnesium Malate enhances muscle recovery post-exercise, alleviating fatigue and improving endurance. A study in Magnesium Research found that Magnesium supplementation improved muscle function and reduced muscle cramps in older adults, making it a valuable tool for maintaining physical vitality into later life.

Improved Sleep Quality: Sleep is essential to healthy ageing, yet many older adults report disrupted sleep. Magnesium has long been known to improve sleep quality, and malic acid further facilitates its absorption. Magnesium Malate’s calming effect on the nervous system can regulate sleep patterns, leading to deeper, more restorative rest. A 2012 study published in The Journal of Research in Medical Sciences found that Magnesium supplementation significantly improved sleep quality in older adults.

Cellular Health and Longevity: Magnesium plays a crucial role in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and protein synthesis. As we age, cellular function declines, contributing to a range of age-related diseases. Magnesium Malate’s high absorption rate means that more Magnesium is available to support these critical functions, helping to protect against cellular damage and promote longevity. A 2018 study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrated that Magnesium intake is inversely related to markers of cellular ageing, suggesting its importance in the anti-ageing process.

Cognitive Function and Mood Stability: Cognitive decline and mood disorders are common concerns as we age. Magnesium Malate, by ensuring better Magnesium absorption, can support brain function and help regulate neurotransmitter activity, leading to improved memory and mood. Research published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience suggests that Magnesium deficiency is linked to cognitive decline and mental health issues – and Magnesium supplementation can ease symptoms.

Bone Health: Magnesium is critical to bone health, influencing calcium absorption and bone density. As we age, Magnesium deficiency can accelerate bone loss, leading to osteoporosis. Magnesium malate plays a significant role in maintaining bone health by improving Magnesium levels in the body, thus supporting calcium metabolism. A 2013 study in The Journal of Bone and Mineral Research examined the importance of Magnesium in preventing age-related bone density loss, underscoring its role in maintaining skeletal integrity.

How to Boost Magnesium’s Benefits

Magnesium levels naturally decline with age, and dietary intake alone is often insufficient. Supplementation with Magnesium Malate is an effective solution due to its superior bioavailability – our Morning & Night supplement combines Magnesium Malate with other carefully calibrated Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, Adaptogens and Omega 3s for holistic nutritional support.

To get the most out of your supplement, aim to incorporate Magnesium-rich foods such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and legumes into your diet. Regular physical activity and stress management are also key to ensuring Magnesium absorption and maintaining overall health.
