Jarrow Formulas Magnesium Optimizer is a unique composition of magnesium and substances that support its metabolism. Each tablet provides 50 mg of magnesium, and the vitamin B6, potassium and taurine present in the composition strengthen and complement its action
Particularly noteworthy are the forms of the ingredients contained in the preparation. Magnesium is present in the best-absorbable form of malate, while vitamin B6 in the unique, characterized by the highest bioavailability form of pyridoxal 5-phosphate. The whole is supplemented with taurine and potassium citrate.
The preparation is recommended as part of the prevention of magnesium deficiency. It is estimated that everyone has too low levels of this element. Poor eating habits, excessive consumption of coffee and tea, as well as carbonated beverages such as Cola are mainly responsible for this state of affairs. Added to this is stress, which increases the need for magnesium, and in the case of athletes also intense physical exercise, accelerating the loss of the micronutrient with sweat.
Magnesium is one of the most popular elements, a cofactor of several hundred enzymes and a participant in all the most important enzymatic reactions taking place in the body. It participates in energy production, transmission of nerve impulses, is responsible for proper contractility of muscle tissue, regulates blood pressure and supports DNA structure.
Vitamin B6 affects more biochemical processes taking place in the body than any other vitamin. It is a coenzyme for hundreds of various enzymes, participates in the metabolism of amino acids, proteins and fats, regulates the process of glycogenolysis and glycogenesis. It influences the work of the nervous and endocrine systems. As a modulator of homocysteine levels, it determines the proper condition of the cardiovascular system.
Potassium enters into the composition of intracellular fluid, is responsible for maintaining osmotic and water-electrolyte balance of cells. It activates many enzymes, and cooperates with magnesium to ensure the proper work of muscle and nerve tissue.
Taurine is a non-protein amino acid that intensifies the effects of magnesium and potassium. It is an excellent transporter of magnesium, thus increasing its bioavailability. In addition, taurine is responsible for osmoregulation, stabilizes cell membranes and increases muscle contractility.
Musculoskeletal health
Magnesium is essential for strong bones and teeth. It conditions their development and proper mineralization. Under the influence of magnesium, there is an activation of enzymes from the phosphatase group, which accelerate the growth and transformation of the bone. In addition, magnesium improves the metabolism of calcium in the bones and intensifies the action of vitamin D3, which is responsible for the proper absorption of calcium. As a result, teeth are strong, and bones are strong, resistant to fracture and sufficiently flexible.
Magnesium is essential for maintaining normal muscle tissue function. It is responsible for the proper tension of muscles and the process of their contraction. Its action in this regard is complemented by potassium, which additionally participates in the conversion of glucose to glycogen and stimulates its storage in the muscles.
Deficiencies of magnesium and potassium are often indicated by muscular weakness, easy fatigability, deterioration of performance, muscle tremors or painful muscle cramps (especially in the calf muscles).
Proper functioning of the nervous system
Both magnesium and vitamin B6 are involved in numerous energy processes, so raising their levels helps reduce feelings of weakness and fatigue. Both compounds can be helpful in the fight against insomnia - they make it easier to fall asleep, and magnesium additionally has a slightly sedative effect.
Magnesium interacts with potassium to ensure proper conduction of nerve impulses, which translates into mental performance. Cognitive functions are also supported by vitamin B6 - its deficiency accelerates the aging of neurons, and consequently causes problems with memory and concentration. In addition, it improves the use of glucose - the main fuel for the brain.
The combination of magnesium and vitamin B6 has many benefits for mental well-being. Magnesium is often recommended as a means of relieving anxiety and tension during times of chronic stress. Vitamin B6, in turn, influences the synthesis of the neurotransmitters most important for good mood - serotonin and dopamine.
Cardiovascular support
Both magnesium and vitamin B6 play an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular dysfunction. Magnesium can act as an anti-aggregant and promotes a lower risk of clot formation,. In addition, it has a positive effect on the condition of the smooth muscles of the blood vessels. Thanks to magnesium, they work and relax properly, which in turn increases blood flow and reduces the pressure exerted on the arteries.
Its action is complemented by vitamin B6. Its role is mainly to participate in the process of methylation and removal of excess homocysteine from the body. Homocysteine is a dangerous protein that damages blood vessels and plays a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
Benefits for the digestive system
Magnesium is essential for proper digestion - without its presence, the synthesis of enzymes and digestive juices could not take place. Magnesium also affects the process of penetration of nutrients into the blood, from where they are further transported throughout the body.
Hormonal balance
Deficiencies of vitamin B6 and magnesium are particularly dangerous for the female endocrine system. They often manifest themselves in bothersome discomforts known as premenstrual syndrome (worsened complexion, mood swings, fluid retention in the body, breast tenderness). The need for magnesium and vitamin B6 increases, especially with the use of oral hormonal contraception.
Magnesium is also involved in the synthesis of other hormones - adrenaline, produced by the adrenal cortex, and calcitonin and parathormone, responsible for calcium management in the body. It also affects the secretion of insulin.
Immune enhancement
The synergy of action of the ingredients contained in the formula translates into the work of the immune system. Vitamin B6 activates the most important immune cells, namely B and T lymphocytes, while magnesium accelerates their maturation. Vitamin B6 also participates in the production of antibodies and is responsible for the proper conversion of heme to hemoglobin in the formation of red blood cells. Magnesium is a regulator of phagocytosis, during which specialized cells of the immune system engulf infected or mutated cells.
In summary, Magnesium Optimizer is a dietary supplement that is the best source of perfectly absorbable magnesium. With the addition of vitamin B6, potassium and taurine, all the functions performed by magnesium are enhanced, and the formula works even more effectively. Supplementation is especially recommended for people who are stressed, complain of memory and concentration problems, suffer from bothersome cramps and muscle weakness.
