Doppelherz Magnesium 500 2-Phase, 30 Tablets

Magnesium 500 2-phase tablets from Doppelherz contain 200 mg magnesium from the immediate phase and 300 mg magnesium from the depot phase.

What does the 2-phase depot system offer?
The 2-phase system from Doppelherz consists of two different tablet layers due to a specially developed manufacturing process. It works on the principle of “rapid nutrient release” and “long-term nutrient release”.

The principle of immediate release phase 1 and depot phase 2
In the 2nd phase as the “depot phase”, the magnesium contained is released gradually over many hours and is thus made available to the body on a sustained basis through smaller “portions” distributed throughout the day. In the “immediate phase”, on the other hand, the magnesium is released quickly. It is thus available to the body more quickly.

Magnesium requirements
Increased physical stress at work and in sports puts strain on muscles and nerves. This can lead to an increased need for magnesium.
Many life circumstances can additionally influence the magnesium requirement. For example, older age, stress, heavy physical strain during sports or work can lead to an increased magnesium requirement.

Magnesium requirements for sports
In fact, a sufficient supply of magnesium is doubly important for athletes, because on the one hand they sweat out the important mineral, and on the other hand they need it for normal muscle function.

In order for our muscles to do their work, the body needs energy in the form of glucose. In order to metabolize glucose from our food, our body needs enzymes – and they in turn need magnesium – to function.
In addition, during athletic activities, our bodies often operate in the anaerobic zone, or oxygen debt. In this case, the body forms lactate in the muscle cell, which reduces the load capacity and must therefore be removed as quickly as possible. And it is precisely for this removal that the body needs the mineral magnesium. This makes it clear how important a sufficient supply of magnesium is for athletes.

Magnesium requirements during stress
In fact, there is a close interplay between the body and the psyche, and stress can result in physical as well as psychological complaints.

People suffering from stress have an increased basal metabolic rate and can suffer from nervous overload. Often our body then reacts to longer periods of stress, magnesium can then have a supporting function on the nervous function.
Since the body can excrete more magnesium during stressful times, it is precisely then that attention should be paid to an adequate magnesium supply.

Magnesium requirements in old age
With increasing age, the body’s ability and effectiveness to absorb magnesium and store it in the body’s own depots decreases.
In addition, some medications, for example diuretic drugs, can increase magnesium excretion. In addition, older people in particular tend to eat an unbalanced diet and drink insufficiently, so this can also lead to an inadequate magnesium intake.
