Magnesium
Magnesium has a hand in over 600 bodily reactions and processes. It is particularly well known for its role in muscle function and energy balance, but it also supports electrolyte balance, stable bones and teeth as well as on a mental level.

What does magnesium do in the body?
Magnesium is a multi-faceted mineral that plays a role in countless metabolic functions. It is particularly important for maintaining energy balance, supporting muscle and nerve function as well as for the mind and the maintenance of strong bones and teeth.
Magnesium as a dietary supplement
Dosage forms: Tablets, capsules, powder, drops, etc.
Magnesium is available in a variety of different dosage forms. Products that are manufactured according to the pure substance principle (mostly capsule products) are particularly well tolerated. This is because these are the only products that guarantee that unnecessary additives and adjuvants have been omitted from the magnesium preparation. This "less-is-more principle" also benefits the bioavailability (= absorption capacity) of the mineral, because additives can hinder the absorption of magnesium.
What is the best way to absorb magnesium?
Since magnesium can interact with other food components, the mineral should ideally be taken outside of mealtimes.
What magnesium compounds exist?
Major organic magnesium compounds include:
- Magnesium citrate
- Magnesium malate
- Magnesium gluconate
- Magnesium glycerophosphate
- Magnesium bis-glycinate
Major inorganic magnesium compounds include:
- Magnesium oxide
- Magnesium carbonate
- Magnesium chloride
Which type of magnesium is best?
When it comes to the question of which magnesium compound is the best, there is no simple answer. The "perfect magnesium" will be different for everybody, depending on their individual needs. For example, magnesium bis-glycinate, which is particularly well tolerated, is ideal for people with sensitive digestion, while magnesium citrate provides a good supply of magnesium even with low stomach acid. For athletes, on the other hand, it can be beneficial to take magnesium together with its physiological partner potassium.
Experienced magnesium experts, like those in the BIOGENA product development team, are able to skilfully exploit the characteristic properties of different types of magnesium. Through clever selection with much sensitivity and scientific know-how, they put together unique magnesium mixtures that deliver magnesium in its best possible form.
For example, 7 Salt Magnesium the bestselling BIOGENA magnesium preparation, provides seven different magnesium compounds that have been carefully matched to provide the perfect mixture of differently soluble and magnesium-rich compounds in one capsule. This ensures a good magnesium supply - whatever the pH situation in the gastrointestinal tract.
Magnesium - Dosage
Ideally, you should consult a doctor to obtain an adequate magnesium dosage, individually tailored to your needs. Your local GP can identify your individual status by means of a special laboratory diagnostic analysis and determine your magnesium dosage based on this.
Which magnesium to buy?
Which BIOGENA magnesium preparation is right for you will depend on your individual needs. For example, BIOGENA 7 Salt Magnesium is recommended for older people, as this product provides a good magnesium supply, regardless of the pH value situation in the digestive tract. For people with sensitive digestion, magnesium bisglycinate 125 may be the best choice, as this magnesium compound is considered particularly gentle and well tolerated. Athletes, on the other hand, can benefit from an optimally coordinated combination of the two physiological team players potassium and magnesium with Potassium & Magnesium Citrate or Potassium & Magnesium GL 2000.
