If you exercise a lot or are generally physically active, it’s important to maintain a healthy magnesium level. This essential mineral supports normal muscle function, the nervous system, and the body’s overall energy metabolism.

During periods of increased activity, such as spring and summer, when many people exercise more, your need for magnesium increases. This is partly due to higher physical demands and the loss of magnesium through sweating.
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. These roles are especially important when you exercise regularly, as your muscles and nerves need to work together efficiently for both performance and recovery.

Key role in cellular energy turnover
Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzyme processes in your body, including energy turnover, protein synthesis, and fluid balance. Around 30% of the body's magnesium is found in muscle tissue.
In relation to exercise, magnesium supports energy-dependent processes and plays a role in normal muscle contraction and relaxation. If magnesium levels are too low, it may affect both your performance and recovery.

Increased losses during exercise
Magnesium is lost through sweat, especially during prolonged or intense physical activity. At the same time, it can be challenging to get enough magnesium through diet alone, even if you eat a balanced and varied diet with good magnesium sources like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
More and more people have made it part of their daily routine to take a magnesium supplement, particularly if their intake is low or their needs are increased.

Choose a quality supplement
When choosing a supplement, it’s important to consider how well it is absorbed by the body. BioActive Magnesium is a formulation that has been evaluated in published research. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, daily supplementation over eight weeks resulted in a six-fold increase in magnesium levels in the blood, showing that the preparation has good absorption. The study was published in a scientific journal.
