Mag Citrate — vegansk
Berthelsen Mag-Citrat is a strong and easily absorbed magnesium supplement, with bioavailable magnesium citrate, aminochelated magnesium bisglycinate and vitamin B6.
Magnesium is used in our body to control over 300 different enzyme functions, where the magnesium is used to activate the enzymes and as a catalyst for various enzymatic processes. Magnesium is also used in our muscles to transfer the nervous signals, which helps our muscles relax.
Furthermore, Magnesium is used in our body as an electrolyte as magnesium is one of the minerals that binds the most water per ion.
Magnesium is excreted by sweat, and your magnesium excretion will therefore increase during sports activities and training. Birth control pills, coffee and diuretics will also drain your body of its magnesium. It is easy to get magnesium deficiency, as our average diet holds to little magnesium and too many magnesium inhibitors, like coffee and alcohol.
Magnesium contributes to the following in our body:
- muscle function and nervous system
- psychological function
- cell formation process
- energy yielding metabolism
- electrolyte balance
- bones, teeth - synergise with calcium
- decreases fatigue and exhaustion
Vitamin B6 contributes to the formation of the red blood cells and counteracts fatigue and exhaustion, which is why we have added vitamin B6 to Berthelsen Mag-Citrat. You can read more about Vitamin B6 under B6 from Green Vitamins .

How magnesium is absorbed
Magnesium citrate is one of the most absorbable sources of magnesium, but the absorbability of magnesium in our body depends on the solubility of the magnesium compounds in our stomach. The body absorbs magnesium ions, and therefore, for example, the citrate part must be split off by stomach acid.
Aminochelated magnesium bisglycinate is very easily soluble in the stomach, as it contains 2 glycine ions that act as a buffer on the stomach acid, so that the stomach acid is kept in balance and the absorption of the magnesium supplement is improved.
With other sources of magnesium, the balance of our stomach acid is often shifted to a more basic level of magnesium, as magnesium neutralizes our stomach acid.
In addition, the glycine ions from the magnesium bisglycinate also counteract the laxative effect that can be experienced when consuming large doses of magnesium.
