Magnesium is an essential mineral present in the body, mainly in our bones (52%) and muscles (28%), but also in small quantities in blood serum and red blood cells. The main dietary sources of magnesium are vegetables, fish, nuts and wholegrain cereals.

Magnesium is involved in over 300 reactions in the body. It is involved, for example, in muscle contraction, protein synthesis, oxygen transport, energy metabolism and immune and hormonal functions. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function. Here are a few examples:

• magnesium plays a major role in neuromuscular activity and in triggering muscle contraction

• magnesium is involved, among other things, as a cofactor in the production of ATP in the mitochondria (energy production in the muscle energy centres).

• Magnesium is needed for energy extraction, when phosphocreatine is converted into creatine (PCR-Cr is one of the body's 3 energy systems; it is mainly used during brief, intense efforts)

• sufficient magnesium deficiency damages the structure of muscle cells

These examples show that a sufficient deficiency will lead to fatigue and can therefore have a negative effect on performance. Magnesium consumption helps prevent muscle cramps. Dehydration (lack of fluids) can cause cramps, as can a deficiency of important minerals (magnesium, sodium, potassium and calcium).

A number of factors, such as a poorly varied diet or a diet rich in calcium, can lead to magnesium deficiency. Sportsmen and women also lose more magnesium through perspiration and urine, meaning their magnesium requirements increase by 10-20%. It is well known that magnesium deficiency impairs muscle function and leads to muscle weakness. Magnesium supplements are a good solution for athletes.

Etixx Magnesium Instant Stick is a magnesium supplement that uses an amino acid (AA: amino acid) in chelated form. This form of packaging has the advantage of protecting the magnesium (due to the amino acid 'coating') and allowing it to reach the small intestine virtually intact, guaranteeing better absorption. Magnesium is also supplemented with vitamin C, which offers additional protection against oxidative muscular stress. A vitamin C deficiency reduces the body's synthesis of L-carnitine. This is an amino acid that the mitochondria need to burn fatty acids. Vitamin C is also involved in the synthesis of collagen (a protein component of connective tissue in the human body). 50% of all the vitamin C in the body is found in the muscles.

Who will benefit from Magnesium Instant Stick?

This magnesium supplement is suitable for all athletes involved in explosive and endurance sports, as well as team and racket sports. It is also recommended for hot-weather athletes and athletes who sweat a lot.
