Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in energy metabolism, cell growth, glycolysis, and protein synthesis. Magnesium is crucial for many physiological functions including nerve conduction muscle contraction, blood pressure regulation [1], and sleep regulation [5]. Exercise regulates Mg distribution and utilization and in response to exercise, Mg is transported to locations where energy production is taking place. For example, during long-term endurance exercise, serum Mg is likely to shift from serum to erythrocytes or muscle to support exercise function [2]. Magnesium is also known to aid in muscle recovery from intense and strenuous exercise [3]. Magnesium requirements are significantly higher in athletes than in the sedentary population due to increased requirements during exercise and other intense activities because a substantial amount of Mg is lost through sweat [7]. High dietary fiber intake also reduces magnesium absorption in athletes. Magnesium deficiency produces muscle weakness and damage which is reflected by an increase in circulating muscle damage markers, compromising subsequent recovery [3]. The maintenance of an adequate Mg status is therefore of utmost importance for optimal exercise performance and recovery.

Our Marine Magnesium is available in two variants, Capsule, and Soluble powder.
Mode of Action:
Glucose metabolism and glycolysis are key processes for energy production during exercise. According to animal studies, Mg may influence exercise performance via the glucose metabolic pathway. Energy production depends upon cellular Mg status since Magnesium as Mg2+-ions binds with ATP and forms the Mg2+-ATP complex which is the direct molecule used in all physical activities. The process is impaired when there is insufficient Mg supply. Mg is therefore essential in energy metabolism, cardiorespiratory function, and muscle actions. Human studies indicate Mg supplementation may improve performance parameters in both aerobic and anaerobic exercises [4]. Aside from being used up in the production of energy, magnesium might also assist performance by reducing the accumulation of lactic acid and reducing the perception of fatigue during strenuous exercise through its action on the nervous system [1]. Magnesium may also play an important role in sleep via regulation of the glutamatergic and GABA-ergic systems by reducing the excitability of the nervous system. Furthermore, studies indicate that magnesium status was highly correlated with sleep duration [5, 6].
Magnesium helps maintain normal nerve and muscle function, heart rhythm (cardiac excitability), vasomotor tone, blood pressure, immune system, bone integrity, and blood glucose levels and promotes calcium absorption. Because of magnesium's role in energy production and storage, normal muscle function, and maintenance of blood glucose levels, it has been studied as an ergogenic aid for athletes [2].
