Magnesium Caps DUAL are vegetable capsules based on 2 highly assimilable sources of Magnesium, specifically the organic salts Bisglycinate and Magnesium Citrate. No more, no less, that is, without additional excipients or additives, just the vegetable capsule that covers it, which gives it high purity, which is why they are also 100% allergen-free.

Magnesium is the 4th most abundant mineral in the body, which is why it is very important for humans, since it fulfills countless functions and is necessary for the correct functioning of cardiovascular, immune and hormonal responses (Musso, CG et al. , IUN. 2009). Although following a balanced diet, with sufficient intake of vegetables, should be enough to have the necessary daily contributions of Magnesium, we see that according to some studies (Mertens, E. et al., EJN. 2.019; Rosanoff, A. et al., NR. 2012) this is not the case and a large part of the population consumes less than what is recommended daily (approximately 400 mg/day in men and 300 mg/day in women). This is due to the high consumption of processed foods, the impoverishment of water and crop soils, etc. Therefore, in many cases it is necessary to supplement. Furthermore, these deficiencies can occur not only due to a lack of sufficient magnesium intake, but also because there may be interactions with other micronutrients (Iron and Zinc), malabsorption due to the use of drugs (Omeprazole, diuretics, etc.) or, simply, physiological factors that hinder its absorption (older age and certain diseases such as diabetes, Crohn's, etc.) or that increase its excretion (kidney disease) and, finally, in which a greater amount of it is simply needed, such as, for example. For example, during pregnancy, breastfeeding or intense physical exercise.

Benefits for athletes

As we have just mentioned, physiological conditions that increase energy demands, such as physical exercise, also increase Magnesium demands. This mineral intervenes in countless fundamental processes for athletes such as, for example, the correct functioning, together with Calcium, of muscle contraction and relaxation, as well as the processes of anabolism, that is, creation and regeneration. muscular. In fact, magnesium levels have been related to testosterone, one of the main anabolic hormones, as well as to strength, muscle mass (Valenzuela, PL et al., EJN. 2019) and jump values ​​(Santos, DA et al. al., MR. 2.011). By acting as a cofactor for hundreds of intracellular enzymes, it is directly related to the obtaining and release of energy, such as the biochemical processes that are related to oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. It intervenes in the transmission of nervous impulses and is especially related to neuromuscular transmission processes, as well as electrolyte balance, which could explain its possible involvement in muscle cramps (ramps). Furthermore, at a structural level, again together with Calcium, it is part of the bone, teeth and soft tissues, the extracellular fluid and is involved in the maintenance of cell membranes.

Its effectiveness as an ergogenic aid, that is, it improves performance, has not been proven, but what does seem is that having low levels of this mineral is negative for performance, for example, making light exercises more expensive (Lukaski , HC et al., HNM. 2002).

Some organizations as important worldwide as the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) grant important benefits to Magnesium, such as those published in 2012, which have to do with everything mentioned above and are summarized as follows: Magnesium helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, and contributes to: normal energy metabolism, normal muscle function, normal protein synthesis, electrolyte balance, maintenance of bones and teeth in normal conditions, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function and the process of cell division.

Combination of Bisglycinate and Magnesium Citrate

There are numerous sources or salts of Magnesium, the differences between them are, on the one hand, the amount of Magnesium they contain and, on the other hand, its bioavailability, that is, what percentage of the Magnesium provided is assimilable and that is where they come in. the different types of salts at play. We have the inorganic ones with greater contributions and less assimilable (oxide, carbonate, chloride, sulfate, etc.) and vice versa happens with the organic ones (citrate, bisglycinate, gluconate, etc.) (Pardo, M. et al., N. 2,021) . Our capsules are made from organic salts, with high bioavailability, such as Bisglycinate (Magnesium chelated to 2 molecules of the amino acid glycine) and Citrate (Magnesium linked to citric acid). All magnesium salts, organic and inorganic, can a priori be used to supplement ourselves, the problem is that some have very low assimilation and, therefore, can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Furthermore, choosing one or the other is important not only because of what was mentioned above, but because some may have a greater impact on some areas of the body or seek different objectives than others, therefore, you must take this into account depending on the objective you are looking for. by supplementing with Magnesium. For example, some salts, such as Threonate (not authorized in Spain) affect only the cognitive level, which is valid if we only seek to improve rest and relaxation; while other salts, such as Citrate and Bisglycinate, are distributed more at a general level, not only at the brain level, which is why we have combined different salts, because our priority was to increase the amount of total Magnesium as quickly as possible. body level (muscle, bone, brain, etc.) and not just focus on a single objective.

High concentration, quality and purity

We have achieved that our capsules do not contain excipients, thus achieving a high purity and concentration of highly assimilable Magnesium per capsule (170 mg) and, all of this, without using magnesium oxides or other inorganic salts. These other salts (carbonates, oxides, etc.) can be used if the objective sought is to produce laxative effects, but that, in our case, is not what we want.

And without forgetting that Magnesium Caps DUAL is 100% safe as it has anti-doping certification by Informed-Sport .
