What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is a mineral that is crucial for the regular functioning of muscles, nerves, bones and heart. It supports regular functioning of the metabolism and nervous system.

Magnesium-rich foods include green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, as well as various nuts, fish, avocado, whole grains and some fruits.  

How can Magnesium Citrate enhance my training?

Low levels of magnesium have been contributed to detrimental performance when training as well as poor recovery.  Magnesium is required for over 300 biological/ enzyme reactions within the human body, including the synthesis of protein, nucleic acids, fat, neurological and cardiac activity, muscle contraction/ relaxation as well as bone metabolism. It is also crucial for the process of cellular energy production and therefore, post workout recovery, assisting against inflammation after strenuous activity.

An aspect of magnesium that is extremely significant for athletes is it’s crucial role within anaerobic and aerobic energy production, especially in regards to the breakdown process of ‘ATP’ adenosine triphosphate, the body cells’ prime energy source.

Magnesium Citrate is formed through chelating the mineral with citric acid, where the acid acts as a transporter to ensure maximum absorption of the mineral. Athletes choose supplements such as magnesium citrate in order to ensure optimal functioning of the body, which in-turn would promote prime performance and recovery when training.
