What does magnesium do in the body?

Magnesium is involved in hundreds of processes in the body. Without enough magnesium, muscles cannot function properly, your energy levels become unbalanced and even psychological function can be affected. So it is no surprise that many people choose to supplement via supplements. In this regard, it is important to emphasize that in the Netherlands we do not so much have a vitamin deficiency, but rather a mineral deficiency! Due to extensive agriculture and soil depletion, our food contains up to 80% less minerals than decades ago. Extra reason to supplement your diet with the important mineral Magnesium!

Magnesium bisglycinate and Magnesium citrate: easily absorbable forms

At Kala Health, we offer magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium citrate because of their bioavailability. Both forms are popular because of their absorption capacity, especially in people with increased magnesium needs or who are prone to intestinal problems.

• Magnesium bisglycinate: is a form in which magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. This ensures that the mineral is efficiently absorbed into the body. Glycine is also a body’s own amino acid.
• Magnesium Citrate: is magnesium bound to citric acid. This form is known to be easily absorbed and is often perceived as gentler on the stomach than some other forms.

Our magnesium complex formula: power from seawater (Aquamin)

In addition to bisglycinate and citrate, we at Kala Health also have a special product; Magnesium Complex powder. This is a 100% natural magnesium supplement based on seawater concentrate (Aquamin Mg), rich in magnesium and over 60 other natural trace elements. Trace elements are minerals, only in smaller amounts.

Composition per measuring spoon (1 gram):

• Elemental Magnesium: 350 mg (93% of RDA)
• It also includes calcium, zinc, iodine, chromium, selenium, manganese, potassium and more.

What makes this formula special:

• All-natural: extracted from pure seawater
• Traceable origin: Aquamin Mg is produced in Iceland and meets high quality standards
• Synergistic action: the presence of multiple trace elements supports the absorption and action of magnesium

The Magnesium Complex Powder is free of unnecessary additives and suitable for daily use, even with a sensitive stomach.

What are recognized health benefits of magnesium?

According to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), you may use the following health claims for magnesium, if present in sufficient amounts:

✅ Contributes to normal muscle function

✅ Contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth

✅ Helps reduce fatigue and tiredness

✅ Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism

✅ Supports normal nervous system function

✅ Contributes to normal psychological function

✅ Contributes to normal protein synthesis

✅ Plays a role in the cell division process

✅ Contributes to electrolyte balance

These scientifically approved claims make it clear how broad the action of magnesium is in the body.

Which form suits you?

Everyone has different needs. Do you choose a specific, highly absorbable form such as bisglycinate or citrate? Or do you prefer a natural, broad-spectrum formula with trace minerals from seawater? Then the Magnesium Complex as a powder or as a convenient capsule is an excellent choice. We always prefer the complex because supplementing 1 single mineral is always less effective than a complex. Why is that? Minerals affect each other’s absorption, excretion and function in the body. Kala Health’s unique Magnesium Complex best represents this natural relationship. Choosing our Magnesium Complex gives you all of the above health benefits and more.
