Magnesium Supplements

Magnesium plays a role in over 300 enzymatic reactions and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscle function, energy metabolism, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is also involved in maintaining normal electrolyte balance and supporting bone and dental health.

When choosing a supplement, it is therefore important to consider the amount of magnesium already obtained through your diet and to evaluate the formulation in relation to your specific needs. Tsunami Nutrition’s dietary supplements are designed to complement your diet, not to replace a varied and balanced diet.

What is magnesium and what is it used for?

Magnesium is a mineral naturally present in our body and involved in numerous physiological processes. It is mainly used to support the normal function of the nervous system and muscle function, as well as normal energy metabolism and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.

Which magnesium supplement should you choose?

The choice of magnesium supplement depends on the form you want to use according to your needs and the goals you want to achieve.

Among the formulations available from Tsunami Nutrition, you can find:

  • Magnesium bisglycinate: in which magnesium is bound to glycine;
  • Magnesium citrate: in which magnesium is bound to citric acid;

The choice between magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium citrate is based on the amount of magnesium provided by the formulation, the composition of the product and the way it is taken.

Magnesium in capsules, tablets or powder: what is the difference?

The main difference concerns the type of supplementation you want to start: capsules and tablets or sachets provide a pre-measured dose for those who want a more convenient supplementation routine. Powder can be dissolved in water and may be useful for those who prefer to prepare their supplement at the time of use.

Frequently asked questions about magnesium supplements

Are all magnesium supplements the same?

No, even within this category, there are differences between various magnesium formulations, which differ in the amount of ingredients, format and method of use.

To compare different formulations, it is therefore useful to check the actual amount of magnesium provided by the daily dose, as well as the form used and the overall composition of the product.

Which form of magnesium is the most suitable?

The most suitable form of magnesium is the one that best fits your routine: magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium citrate differ in some respects and, consequently, choosing the most suitable magnesium depends on the goals you want to achieve.

The choice may therefore depend on the characteristics of the product, the amount of magnesium per serving, the method of intake and individual supplementation needs. It is preferable to evaluate the formulation as a whole, without considering any single form of magnesium as necessarily better than the others.

How do you choose a high-quality magnesium supplement?

To choose a high-quality form of magnesium, it is necessary to evaluate the analyses and studies carried out on the form of magnesium, the actual amount of mineral contained in the formulation and follow the instructions on the label for correct use.

When should you take a magnesium supplement?

There is no specific time to take magnesium; it depends on the time of day that works best for you. The product should be incorporated into a healthy routine, and the intake can also be divided throughout the day.
