Resting after exercise isn't enough – your body also needs magnesium

Regular physical activity significantly contributes to health, but it also increases the body's need for certain nutrients – magnesium being one of the most important. It is an essential mineral that participates in more than 600 enzymatic processes, especially in glucose metabolism, energy production, and the functioning of muscles and the nervous system. During physical activity, both fluid and electrolytes are lost due to increased muscle activity and sweating, which can lead to a magnesium deficiency, often manifesting as muscle cramps, reduced endurance, and fatigue. Athletes often require two to three times more magnesium than the less active population.

To replace lost magnesium, it is crucial to choose a form that is easily and quickly absorbed and used by the body. While some forms are poorly utilized by the body, magnesium citrate has high bioavailability, meaning it is effectively absorbed and works where the body needs it most – in the muscles. This is why we recommend that athletes use high-quality magnesium supplements, especially during the recovery phase after exercise. It is also important to know that consuming magnesium right before activity is not recommended, as its mild laxative effect can reduce athletic performance.

Magnesium Diasporal® 400 EXTRA direkt is a dietary supplement with 400 mg of magnesium in the form of citrate, which allows for quick, effective, and easy replacement of lost magnesium – without the need for water, sugar, or artificial sweeteners. With its convenient use and fresh natural orange flavor, it is ideal for anyone who wants to support muscle function, reduce fatigue, and maintain athletic strength after intense physical activity. Therefore, it's no surprise that this product is the official magnesium of the NLB Ljubljana Marathon – an event where endurance, strength, and recovery play a key role.
