Aroha Magnesium Malate 90 capsules

Magnesium - the king of minerals

Most people do not get enough magnesium from food. In Western countries, approximately 65% of adults have a sub-optimal magnesium intake. This proportion is even higher in the elderly, as more than 80% of people over the age of 70 do not take sufficient amounts [1, 2]. The most common symptoms of magnesium deficiency are muscle cramps, poor quality sleep, mental imbalance, irregular heartbeat and weakness in muscles or bones. Magnesium is essential for hundreds of biochemical processes, including energy metabolism inside cells. Magnesium Malate supports muscle and nervous system activity, which can positively affect physical performance. The natural level of magnesium in the human body helps to reduce fatigue and exhaustion. Magnesium is one of the most abundant chemical elements on the planet and is one of the most important minerals in the human body, essential for hundreds of biochemical processes. The adult body contains approximately 25 g of magnesium, 50-60% of which is present in the bones and most of the rest in the soft tissues. The natural level of magnesium in the body is largely controlled by the kidneys, which normally excrete about 120 mg of magnesium a day in the urine. This is one of the main reasons why we should supplement magnesium every day, either naturally from food or through supplements.
