The mineral magnesium is indispensable for any living being to function normally. There is about 30-40 gr of magnesium in the human body. Over 60% of this is found in the bone tissue. The concentration of magnesium in serum is around 20 mg/litre of which two thirds is in the ionic form (Mg⁺⁺) and the rest in seric proteins.

The estimated normal need of the human body for magnesium is 300 mg/day. The quantity of magnesium in vegetables and meat varies from 200 to 300 mg/kg. This means that a normal diet cannot guarantee a full supply of magnesium, which is even more true for sportsmen and women whose need for this element is significantly greater. The sportsman or woman’s greater need is caused by the loss of magnesium through sweating.

The physiological importance of magnesium lies in its ability to activate hundreds of enzymes in the human body (magnesium dependent enzymes) that control nervous, muscular, cardiac, vascular, and metabolic activity. The same function is carried out by magnesium dependent ATP (the energy molecule par excellence).

Deficiency of magnesium leads to a muscular symptomatology characterised by pain, spasms, cramp, and tetany. In sport, the athlete’s performance generally suffers before arriving at this symptomatology, initially imperceptibly but then progressively deteriorating (greater fatigue). Optimum concentrations of magnesium are therefore a prerequisite for optimum physical performance. In contrast, no serious study has ever shown that assuming high doses of magnesium can improve athletic performance supermaximally in any way. A magnesium supplement for sportsmen and women is therefore (not just a little) important and fundamental to preventive goals.

Prolonged magnesium deficiency in typically non sporting environments can lead to hypertension (lack of its calcium-antagonist action), forms of cardiomyopathy, and increased probability of stones forming. On the contrary, recent studies indicate that careful therapy/supplement using magnesium seems to produce beneficial effects in cardiovascular diseases, diabetes (both types 1 and 2) and its side-effects, as well as osteoporosis.

In contrast to solid forms (e.g. capsules, tablets), ionic magnesium solutions such as FLUIDMAG make this element more readily bioavailable. In other words, absorption of magnesium into the circulatory system is faster if it is assumed orally in liquid form.

SPORT: since profuse sweating during exercise can induce significant loss of magnesium, this loss needs to be replaced. Magnesium deficiency can lead to muscular cramp, with hardened and heavy muscles that together can cause real damage to the muscle tissue.

dosages: 1-2 phialoids a day (preferably during stamina resistance exercise) to replace the effective loss through sweating.

EVERYDAY LIFE: the product is suitable for all cases of magnesium deficiency (malnutrition, unbalanced diets, vomiting, diarrhoea, abuse of diuretic pharmaceutical drugs, and laxatives) and/or an increase in need (as suggested in medical studies, continued moderate assumption through time can have beneficial effects on osteoporosis, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases).

dosage: 1 phialoid a day.

the product does not have any side effects and is not toxic at the doses indicated, including during prolonged assumption.

packaging: container of 2 phialoids. A phialoids contains 25 cc of sugar solution with 275 mg of magnesium ions.

 

flavour: orange
