7-Salt Magnesium by Biogena

Magnesium is not just magnesium because the solubility of each magnesium compound changes in response to the naturally fluctuating pH-conditions of the intestinal tract. The background: So that the intestinal tract can take up magnesium into our bodies, elemental magnesium must first be released from it‘s salt compound. The efficiency of this process is primarily dependent on the existing pH-value.

In a healthy stomach, all the soluble magnesium compounds are easily broken down in the strongly acidic environment. However, there is also an alkaline environment in later sections of the digestive tract. Here, the solubility of various magnesium compounds can be adversely affected. Many factors, such as the type and amount of nutrition, bacterial colonization of the intestine and individual parameters determine the pH value of the digestive tract.

7-Salt Magnesium

• To increase magnesium intake in case of magnesium losses e.g. during sport
• In case of increased magnesium requirement during growth and pregnancy
• Magnesium plays an important role in muscular activity – in both muscle contraction and relaxation – and in the electrolyte balance of the body
• Magnesium has important functions in the nervous system, supports the normal functioning of the psyche and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue

Therefore, a balanced mixture of magnesium salts with different solubility characteristics, is favorable. A further distinctive feature of the different magnesium compounds is their magnesium content. While magnesium oxide supplies a lot of magnesium, it is only easily soluble in an acidic pH. Magnesium citrate on the other hand contains only small amounts of magnesium but is readily available to the body at basic pH-values.
