Vitals Magnesium sport
Magnesium Sport is the magnesium supplement for (elite) athletes. For anyone seriously involved in sports, it's crucial to know what you're consuming. What ingredients are in your food, what are the nutritional values, but also: the composition and quality of the nutritional supplements you're taking. And just as important is knowing what you're not consuming. You don't want to ingest any unwanted substances and avoid doping. That's why Vitals products are tested for contaminants, and every batch of Magnesium Sport 100 mg is tested for the absence of doping-related substances. This is done according to the NZVT system.
Magnesium Sport has the exact same composition as Magnesium (bisglycinate) 100 mg, Vitals' most popular magnesium product. The only difference is the name and that every batch of Magnesium Sport is tested for doping and certified according to the NZVT system.
Each Magnesium Sport tablet contains a generous 100 mg of highly absorbable magnesium bisglycinate (an amino acid-bound form of magnesium), supplemented with 200 mg of taurine. Especially with a magnesium supplement, it's crucial to choose the right compound form, meaning how magnesium is present in the tablet or capsule (such as bisglycinate or citrate). Read on to learn more about the quality differences between magnesium products so you know how to make the right choice.
1. The Dutch Assurance System for Nutritional Supplements in Top-Level Sports (NZVT) is a collaborative agreement between the Doping Authority, NOC*NSF, and the Dutch Natural and Health Products Association. This system offers the greatest possible assurance that certified nutritional supplements do not contain prohibited substances. You can check whether a product has been tested in the NZVT database using the batch code and best-before date. Not all products are tested in every batch. Products that are tested in every batch can be identified in the database by the "infinite" symbol. For more information, see https://www.dopingautoriteit.nl/nzvt. Are you interested in a Vitals product that is not tested in every batch? Please contact us. Our contact details can be found on the contact page.
Why is magnesium good for athletes?
The body contains approximately 21 to 28 grams of magnesium. Less than 1% circulates in the blood, about 20% is located in the muscles, 20% in other soft tissues and the liver, and about 60% is incorporated into the bones and teeth. Magnesium has a positive effect on muscle function, among other things. This is important for everyone, but especially for athletes. For optimal athletic performance, it is crucial that all the processes involved in the body run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. The significant role magnesium plays is evident from its involvement in more than 300 enzymatic processes. For example, magnesium is an important cofactor for enzymes involved in protein synthesis (the process by which proteins are created from DNA) and thus contributes to the synthesis of body protein. It also contributes to a healthy electrolyte balance by being a cofactor for many enzymes involved in maintaining an electrical potential across the cell membrane. (Cells—especially nerve and muscle cells—use the electrical charge of electrolytes to conduct electrical impulses to and from other cells, such as nerve impulses or muscle contractions.) In this way, magnesium is involved in nerve conduction and muscle contraction, and is therefore important for muscle function, including the heart muscle. Furthermore, an inadequate magnesium intake can lead to fatigue. In this case, magnesium can help you regain your fitness. It helps release energy from fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, thus supporting energy levels. It is also important for brain and nerve functions that determine aspects such as concentration and mood. Finally, it contributes to normal cell division and the production of cells and tissues.
Taurine
Magnesium Sport also contains 200 mg of taurine per tablet. This is an amino acid-like substance found naturally in meat, fish, and shellfish. It has a direct synergistic effect with magnesium by promoting its absorption into cells (magnesium is primarily active intracellularly).
Uptake of common mineral compounds
Several magnesium compounds are used in supplements. Some, such as the inorganic mineral compounds magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate, are not well absorbed and have low bioavailability. When minerals (in any form except amino acid chelated) enter the acidic environment of the stomach, the digestive process begins by releasing the mineral moiety from its chemical structure. As the mineral element continues through the digestive process, it is naturally electrically charged. This charge attracts it to other charged particles, such as those found in vegetables, fiber, and fats. These food particles isolate the mineral ions, preventing them from being effectively absorbed and utilized by the body. The limited amount of free mineral ions now available continues through the digestive tract, competing with other minerals (such as calcium) for absorption through the intestinal wall and into the cells.
Magnesium
Benefits of Amino Acid Chelated Minerals
In magnesium bisglycinate, each magnesium particle is strongly bound (chelated) to two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. This creates a ring-like structure, with the mineral at its core.
The chelate structure in an amino acid chelate like magnesium bisglycinate is strong enough not to be broken down by gastric juice or digestive enzymes (as is typically the case with other mineral compounds), but also weak enough to allow the mineral to be released once absorbed by the intestinal cells. The amino acids wrap around the mineral, protecting it during the digestive process and preventing it from detaching. The chelate's electrical charge is also neutral, preventing it from adhering to food particles in the stomach and intestines. The amino acid chelate thus reaches the small intestine intact, where it is absorbed as a dipeptide (a compound containing two amino acids). This is very advantageous because the body can absorb amino acids (and dipeptides in particular) very easily, especially if they consist of the smallest amino acid, glycine. This makes amino acid chelated minerals much more absorbable than other mineral forms. In the epithelial tissue of the jejunum (middle portion of the small intestine), the amino acid-chelated mineral is transported into the mucous cells by active transport, without competing with other minerals. Only in the mucous cells do metabolic processes ensure that the glycine and the mineral are split and become available to the various organs and systems in the body.
Amino acid chelates from Albion Minerals
Vitals uses only genuine amino acid chelates from Albion Minerals, the leading expert in amino acid chelates, recognizable by the trademark TRAACS®, which stands for The Real Amino Acid Chelate System. This brand was created to clearly differentiate itself from other, potentially inferior, unstable amino acid chelates. Albion has filed over 100 patents worldwide that guarantee the process, science, and structure of their amino acid chelated minerals. Furthermore, research is conducted on their minerals, and quality assurance is performed on every batch produced. It is essential to verify that chelation has actually occurred and that the bonds are strong enough.
Studies with magnesium bisglycinate
Several studies have confirmed the effectiveness of magnesium bisglycinate. Some of these compared the absorption of magnesium bisglycinate with various magnesium compounds, such as magnesium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, and magnesium oxide. Magnesium bisglycinate was absorbed significantly faster and better than the other forms of magnesium. Magnesium oxide performed by far the worst.
