Magnesium malate is a nutritional supplement in which magnesium, which plays a key role in the balance of the human nervous and muscular systems, is combined with malic acid, which facilitates its absorption by the body.
Description and main properties of magnesium malate
The strong interaction with phosphates makes magnesium extremely important for the chemical processes of nucleic acids in the cells of all living organisms. Over 300 enzymes require magnesium ions for their catalytic action. Among them are all those that use or produce adenosine triphosphate or, together with other nucleotides, synthesize DNA and RNA.
In the human body, magnesium plays a fundamental role in energy production and the proper functioning of metabolic processes. It balances the conduction of nerve cell signals and participates in protein synthesis, the regulation of cardiac activity and the gastrointestinal tract.
In recent decades, there has been a growing trend towards magnesium deficiency in the body, dictated by the peculiarities of the diet in Europe and North America. Obtaining the necessary amounts is very important for the proper functioning of the body.
According to scientific studies comparing different magnesium supplements, magnesium malate has the best bioavailability, or in other words, is the most easily absorbed by the body. This is due to malic acid, which is found in a number of fruits - apples, cherries, plums, and contributes to their sour taste.
Magnesium malate is recommended for a number of conditions such as headaches, migraines, chronic pain, depression. It also acts as a laxative, attracting water to the intestines and stimulating the movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract. The supplement is also a natural antacid, reducing stomach acidity thanks to the alkaline ions it contains.
Benefits of taking magnesium malate
Supports normal nervous system function – Magnesium plays a very important role in transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body. It acts as a filter in the NMDA receptors found in neurons, which support brain development, memory, and learning. Normal magnesium levels prevent overstimulation of nerve cells, which can destroy them and cause brain damage.
Supports Normal Heart Rhythm – Magnesium helps the heart muscle relax by counteracting calcium, which causes it to contract. With low magnesium levels, calcium can stimulate the heart muscle cells too strongly and cause a fast and/or irregular heartbeat, which can be fatal.
Contributes to the regulation of muscle contractions – Just like in the heart, magnesium counteracts calcium to allow muscles to relax. If its amount in the body is insufficient, muscles contract more than necessary, which can lead to cramps and spasms.
Improves athletic performance – Magnesium plays an important role in muscle function, energy production, oxygen uptake, and electrolyte balance – important factors related to physical exertion. It helps provide energy to cells and clear muscles of lactic acid that builds up during excessive exercise.
Relieves migraine pain – Magnesium deficiency affects neurotransmitters and disrupts blood vessel contraction, which are major factors in migraines.
Improves blood sugar control – Magnesium intake increases insulin sensitivity, which significantly helps the body use this important hormone more effectively and thus maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Magnesium has a number of other beneficial properties for the human body that scientists continue to research. It improves mood and reduces anxiety, aids sleep, maintains bone health and prevents osteoporosis, and helps with premenstrual syndrome.
