How to choose the best magnesium form for you?

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the human body, involved in numerous daily processes. It helps maintain normal energy levels, supports muscle and nervous system function, and is essential for overall well-being. Although magnesium is found in various foods, many people do not consume enough of it daily, which is why its importance in diet is increasingly being highlighted.

How to choose the most suitable form of magnesium for you?

When choosing the most suitable form of magnesium, it is important to pay attention to its absorption capacity and effect on the body. Organic forms of magnesium, such as magnesium malate and magnesium citrate, are generally better absorbed and gentler on the digestive system, making them more frequently chosen for daily use. Magnesium malate is particularly suitable for supporting energy levels and reducing fatigue, while magnesium citrate can help with muscle relaxation and overall body balance. Magnesium oxide, on the other hand, although containing a large amount of elemental magnesium, is absorbed significantly less efficiently by the body, so its effectiveness is often lower compared to other forms.

Many products available on the market contain magnesium oxide, but it has several disadvantages:

• it is absorbed significantly less efficiently
• more often causes gastrointestinal discomfort
• provides a smaller amount of bioavailable magnesium in the body

Magnesium malate + B6

Vitamin B6 improves magnesium bioavailability by facilitating magnesium transport into body cells and ensuring its more effective utilization. Magnesium and vitamin B6 help reduce fatigue and weakness, and contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Magnesium also contributes to electrolyte balance and normal muscle and nervous system function.[1] Magnesium malate in combination with vitamin B6 is a particularly suitable choice for those who want to support energy levels and reduce daily fatigue. This form combines magnesium's role in muscle and nervous system function with vitamin B6's ability to promote normal energy metabolism and magnesium utilization in the body. As a result, this combination is often chosen by people with an active lifestyle or increased physical and mental stress.

Furthermore, vitamin B6 in Cardeon products is in its active form – P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate). Many other products are in pyridoxal form, which needs to be metabolized in the liver to become active. Our products do not require this.

Cardeon Magnesium Citrate + Potassium

Studies indicate that when magnesium is combined with potassium and sodium intake is simultaneously reduced, this approach is often more effective than using individual minerals and, in some cases, can be comparable to pharmacological therapy for blood pressure control. Magnesium and potassium together help maintain a normal mineral balance in cells, which is important for normal vascular function and blood pressure regulation.[2] Cardeon “Potassium Magnesium” combines potassium and magnesium in citrate form. Potassium helps maintain normal blood pressure and promotes normal muscle and nervous system function, while magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance and helps reduce fatigue and weakness.[3] Therefore, combined magnesium and potassium intake can be particularly valuable for those who want to support normal blood pressure and overall body balance. It is important to choose high-quality and well-absorbed sources of these minerals.
