Magnesium Sucrosomial
A highly bioavailable form of magnesium with fewer gastrointestinal side effects.
Also known as: Sucrosomial Magnesium • UltraMag
Overview
Sucrosomial magnesium is a patented delivery system for magnesium oxide that enhances its absorption and bioavailability. The magnesium is encapsulated in a sucrosome, a phospholipid and sucrose ester matrix, which protects it from the acidic environment of the stomach and allows it to be absorbed directly in the intestine. This innovative technology minimizes the common gastrointestinal side effects associated with other forms of magnesium.
Key Benefits
Superior Bioavailability
The sucrosomial technology significantly increases the absorption of magnesium compared to traditional magnesium salts.
Gentle on the Stomach
By avoiding direct contact with the intestinal mucosa, it minimizes the risk of common side effects like diarrhea and stomach upset.
Supports Muscle and Nerve Function
Magnesium is essential for proper muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and maintaining a healthy heart rhythm.
Boosts Energy Production
Plays a key role in the production of ATP, the body's main source of energy.
Dosage & How to Take
Dosage should be based on the elemental magnesium content. It is important to follow the product-specific recommendations.
| Purpose | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| General Magnesium Supplementation | 300-400 mg daily | Provides the recommended daily intake for most adults. |
| Athletic Performance and Recovery | 400-500 mg daily | May help reduce muscle cramps and support recovery. |
Best Time to Take
Can be taken at any time of the day.
With or Without Food
Can be taken with or without food, as the sucrosomial matrix protects the magnesium.
