What does magnesium do in your body?
Magnesium is an important mineral that plays a role in your energy metabolism, muscles, nerves and in the production of cells and tissues.
How do you know if you have a magnesium deficiency?
A magnesium deficiency can be recognized by several symptoms, including:
- irritation of the nerves in the muscles
- cardiac arrhythmias
- stomach cramps
- fatigue
These symptoms may be attributed to other deficiencies or problems, so always consult a doctor if you experience them persistently or are concerned.
Which foods contain magnesium?
Your body doesn't produce minerals itself, so you must get them from your diet and/or supplements. You can find magnesium in, among other things:
- kernels and seeds such as pumpkin seeds and almonds
- green leafy vegetables such as spinach
- whole grains such as whole wheat bread and brown rice
- legumes such as black beans and chickpeas
- dairy products such as cheese, milk and yogurt
- fish such as salmon and tuna
- dark chocolate
How much magnesium should I take?
Whether and for how long you can take magnesium depends on your individual needs and personal situation. The recommended daily amount of magnesium depends on your age, gender, and personal situation (exercise, stress, alcohol consumption), but is around 300 mg per day for an adult woman. Two Guud Vibes capsules contain 260 mg of magnesium.
How long can I take magnesium?
How long you should take magnesium depends on your individual needs and personal situation. Ensure you're getting enough magnesium-rich food and supplement your diet with a magnesium supplement if necessary. Consult a doctor if you suspect a magnesium deficiency and would like personalized advice.
What is the difference between magnesium oxide, magnesium bisglycinate, and magnesium citrate?
We use three forms of magnesium in our products:
- Aquamin magnesium is an oxide form of magnesium derived from seaweed.
- Magnesium bisglycinate: a highly absorbable form of magnesium. This type of magnesium can help support a balanced mood and reduce anxiety and stress.
- Magnesium citrate: Known for its excellent absorption in the body, this type of magnesium can help relax muscles and calm the nervous system. It can be helpful in reducing muscle cramps, tension, and stress.
Does magnesium affect bowel movements?
Specific types of magnesium can influence bowel movements by affecting their frequency and consistency. Supplementing with magnesium can help soften stools and stimulate bowel movements, thus relieving constipation.
It's important to choose high-quality magnesium supplements, such as magnesium citrate and/or magnesium bisglycinate. These forms of magnesium are naturally bound and less likely to cause gastrointestinal problems.
While healthy magnesium levels can be beneficial for healthy bowel function, it's important to remember that too much magnesium can cause diarrhea. Therefore, it's wise to follow the recommended daily allowance (RDA).
