Magnesium Supplements — Buy Online in Spain

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Its deficiency is very common in the Spanish population due to soil depletion in agriculture and modern diets, and it manifests as fatigue, muscle cramps, insomnia, anxiety, and irritability. Not all types of magnesium are equal: choosing the right form makes a difference in its absorption and digestive tolerance.

What is magnesium good for?

• Reduces tiredness and fatigue: magnesium is key in cellular energy (ATP) production.
• Cramps and muscle function: essential for muscle contraction and relaxation. Its deficiency is a common cause of cramps, especially nocturnal ones.
• Nervous system: contributes to emotional balance, reduces nervousness and anxiety.
• Sleep: promotes muscle and nerve relaxation, improving sleep quality.
• Bones and teeth: works with calcium and vitamin D3 to maintain strong bones.
• Blood sugar control: involved in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Types of magnesium: which is the best?

• Magnesium bisglycinate: the most bioavailable and best-tolerated form. Does not produce a laxative effect. Ideal for continuous use.
• Magnesium citrate: good absorption and a mild laxative effect. Useful in cases of constipation.
• Magnesium malate: especially indicated for muscle fatigue and fibromyalgia.
• Magnesium oxide: lower bioavailability, frequently causes digestive discomfort. Not recommended.

Who needs magnesium supplementation?

• People with frequent muscle cramps or muscle tension
• Those suffering from chronic fatigue or lack of energy
• People with high stress or difficulty sleeping
• Athletes with higher magnesium demand due to intense exercise
• People over 50 with reduced mineral absorption
• Those who consume alcohol, diuretics, or certain medications that reduce magnesium levels

What dose of magnesium do I need?

The recommended daily dose is 300-400 mg of elemental magnesium. To correct a deficiency, doses of up to 600 mg can be used under supervision. It is important to look at the elemental magnesium content on the label, not just the total weight of the magnesium salt.
