MAGNESIUM

Magnesium – cells, muscles, nerves and energy metabolism

Magnesium is a mineral involved in about 300 enzyme reactions in the body. It is present in foods such as nuts, seeds and whole grains, but many people do not always reach optimal intakes through diet alone or use up a large portion of the body's reserves during exercise or stressfull times.

• Magnesium contributes to normal muscle and the nervous system function. Magnesium also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and protein synthesis.

To learn more about Magnesium, overall intake status and bioavailability, we can recommend the following literature:

• Magnesium deficiency as driver for many health conditions [PubMed]
• Magnesium status and supplementation influence vitamin D status and metabolism: results from a randomized trial [NCIA]
• Magnesium bioavailability from magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide [PUBMED]

Potassium - a key mineral

Like magnesium, potassium is used for transmitting electrical impulses in nerve cells and between nerves and muscles. It counteracts the effects of sodium which is important for blood pressure.

A balanced diet a good way to ensure adequate potassium intake. Foods particularly high in potassium include beans, spinach, potatoes and oats.

The recommended daily potassium intake varies depending on age, sex, and health status, but is generally between 2000 and 3500 mg per day for adults according to WHO and EFSA guidelines.

Taurine - an essential compound

is essential amino-acid and is found in various body tissues, particularly in the central nervous system, brain and heart muscle. It occurs naturally in many foods and is often used in sports and performance products.

"Taurine is undoubtedly one of the most essential substances in the body" as stated by Ripps & Shen, 2012.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a molecule found in mitochondria that is involved in producing energy for the body. It also plays an important role in the endogenous antioxidant system. Tissues with a high energy requirement, such as the heart, kidneys, liver and muscles, have particularly high levels of coenzyme Q10 (bfr.bund.de). To learn more about Q10, we can recommend the following literature:

• Coenzyme Q10 a global review of over 50 studies [examine.com]
• Coenzyme Q10 is involved in electron transport in the mitochondria [Quinzii and Hirano, 2011 ].
