CAL-MAG CITRATE
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The calcium and magnesium compound that ensures the best absorption, in an optimal ratio
Many commercially available calcium-containing preparations contain various compounds of calcium (calcium carbonate, citrate, gluconate, phosphate, lactate). In terms of utilization, calcium citrate is best for the body. Compared to the common calcium carbonate, for example, the absorption of citrate can be increased 5-10 times according to various test results. The situation is similar for magnesium. The most common compound found in many dietary supplements is magnesium oxide, only 4% of which is absorbed, which is why it is difficult to cover the body's magnesium needs. Magnesium citrate is a form with extremely high bioavailability (90%) and a significantly higher absorption capacity.
In the absence of an adequate amount of magnesium, the body cannot use calcium optimally. Ideally, the two minerals enter the body in a ratio of 2:1 in favor of calcium. PANHELLEN CALCIUM-MAGNESIUM CITRATE ensures this ratio; by using it, we can contribute to the adequate calcium and magnesium supply of our body.
The functions of the preparation include supporting the proper contraction and relaxation of muscles; supporting the proper functioning of fat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism; assisting the energy service (ATP); support for regeneration; helping to prevent and treat depression; reducing the harmful effects of stress; treatment and reduction of insomnia, fatigue, exhaustion; helping healthy bone and tooth development; supporting cardiovascular health.
CAL-MAG CITRATE
With the regular, daily use of the PANHELLEN CALCIUM-MAGNESIUM CITRATE food supplement, muscle spasms and muscle twitches can be prevented, but also muscle weakness, premature fatigue, insomnia, irritability, and can also contribute to rapid regeneration.
Why is citrate better than other calcium and magnesium compounds?
Many commercially available calcium-containing preparations contain various compounds of calcium (calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium gluconate, calcium phosphate, calcium lactate). In terms of utilization, calcium citrate is best for the body. Compared to the common calcium carbonate, for example, the absorption of citrate can be increased 5-10 times according to various test results. This means that consuming a tenth of calcium citrate may be enough to get the same amount of calcium to our body. Since we unreasonably burden our body by breaking down the significantly larger amount of calcium carbonate, the use of the citrate compound with a higher biological value is a better choice.
The situation is similar in the case of magnesium - here, too, we can find several compounds in various preparations. The most common compound found in many dietary supplements is magnesium oxide, only 4% of which is absorbed, which is why it is difficult to cover the body's magnesium needs. Magnesium citrate is a form with extremely high bioavailability (90%) and a significantly higher absorption capacity. It is therefore worth examining the compound for both minerals before choosing a dietary supplement.
Additional benefits of citrate compounds:
The calcium citrate found in PANHELLEN CAL-MAG CITRATE is the salt of citric acid with calcium, and magnesium citrate is the salt of magnesium carbonate with citric acid. Calcium citrate is not only absorbed at a higher rate than other formulas, but it can also be easily digested and utilized, as the body can fully utilize it. Another advantage is that even with regular use, there is no need to worry about the formation of kidney stones, because citric acid acidifies the urine, as a result of which calcium-containing stones do not form. Magnesium citrate is also easily and quickly absorbed, and unlike inorganic salts (such as magnesium sulfate), it does not cause intestinal complaints (e.g. diarrhea).
Optimal ratio:
Everyone has heard about the importance of calcium intake, but it should always be kept in mind that without a sufficient amount of magnesium, the body cannot use calcium optimally. Ideally, the two minerals enter the body in a ratio of 2:1 in favor of calcium. PANHELLEN CALCIUM-MAGNESIUM CITRATE ensures this ratio; by using it, we can contribute to the adequate calcium and magnesium supply of our body. The two macroelements can be considered opposites of each other; they inhibit, but at the same time help each other's effect and utilization. Calcium is mainly found outside the cells, while magnesium is found inside the cells. The former mineral mainly plays a role in proper impulse conduction, while the latter counterbalances this effect and has a calming effect on the muscles and the nervous system.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
The active ingredients of PANHELLEN CALCIUM-MAGNESIUM CITRATE can contribute to the following:
Calcium:
- helping the perfect impulse conduction of the (nerve) cells, thus the satisfactory excitability of the muscles
- supporting the proper contraction and (together with magnesium) relaxation of the muscles
- helping healthy bone and tooth development
- maintaining the health of bones and teeth
- supporting proper blood coagulation (e.g. wound healing).
- helping the absorption of vitamin B12
- support of blood pressure regulation
Magnesium:
- helping the optimal use of calcium
- supporting proper nerve function
- supporting the proper relaxation and contraction of muscles (together with calcium).
- supporting the proper functioning of fat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism
- helping the adequate energy supply (ATP).
- supporting proper regeneration
- helping healthy bone and tooth development
- maintaining the health of bones and teeth
- support of the health of the cardiovascular system (vasodilating and anti-thrombotic effect)
- helping to prevent and treat depression
- reducing the harmful effects of stress
- treatment and reduction of insomnia, fatigue, exhaustion
MORE INFORMATION:
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. The body of men contains 1000-1200 g of calcium, and that of women 700-800 g. About 99% of the total calcium content is found in bones and teeth, the remaining 1% in blood plasma, cells and the space between cells. The magnesium content of the body, on the other hand, is only 20-30 g. The stocked quantity is approx. 60% of it is contained in bones and teeth, and the rest in blood plasma, cells and organs.
The main regulators of calcium metabolism are parathormone, calcitonin and estrogen. Several factors affect the absorption and metabolism of both calcium and magnesium. These include vitamin E and vitamin D supply; fat digestion or absorption disorder (e.g. liver diseases, Crohn's disease); the protein content of the diet; and the composition of the food (phytate, oxalate, phosphorus content).
In sports nutrition , there are two established dietary habits that greatly influence the utilization of the two macroelements. One is the low energy intake and associated low body weight, as well as low (lower) estrogen levels (e.g. in the case of dancers, gymnasts). A low caloric intake can increase the loss of bone mass, and in the absence of female sex hormones, the incorporation of calcium into the bones also decreases. The other cardinal issue - and at the same time a paradox - is the increased protein consumption . A protein-rich diet increases the need for both magnesium and calcium, but interestingly inhibits their absorption and increases urinary excretion.
Knowing all this, we must realize that the magnesium and calcium needs of athletes are slightly higher than the needs of the average person. With an adequate supply of minerals, there is no need to expect osteoporosis, softening of the bones and other complications. Bone growth, ossification approx. 20-22 it is completed by the end of the year. However, mineralization continues until the age of 30-35, i.e. the bone mass reaches its maximum mass and mineral content by the end of young adulthood.
The daily calcium requirement of the average person is 800-1000 mg, 1200 mg during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In strength and power sports, the need can reach 1,500-2,500 mg , while a daily calcium intake of 1,500-2,000 mg is recommended for endurance sports . The daily magnesium requirement of the body is 350-400 mg , which increases to 450-500 mg during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In these strength and speed sports, the daily magnesium requirement is 500-600 mg, in endurance sports 400-600 mg.
It is important to emphasize that PANHELLEN CALCIUM-MAGNESIUM CITRATE does not replace a balanced diet; it merely contributes to the body's adequate supply of calcium and magnesium. It is recommended to be used during or after a meal, in order to ensure the most effective absorption and utilization.
