Magnesium: why it’s so important and why we don’t always absorb it well

3 min

Magnesium is one of the most essential minerals for our body.

 

It participates in over 300 biochemical reactions, supports the nervous system, contributes to muscle function, regulates sleep, energy and even emotional balance. 

However, despite its importance, many people do not consume enough of it or cannot absorb it effectively. 

A magnesium deficiency is often manifested by fatigue, muscle tension, irritability, difficulty in concentration and sleep disturbances. 

In this article, we will see why magnesium is so fundamental, what hinders its absorption, and how an innovative formulation can make a difference. 

 

Why is magnesium so important 

 

Magnesium is involved in fundamental processes: 


  • Produces ATP energy,  

  • Aids in concentration and muscle relaxation,

  • Supports neurological and emotional function, 

  • Regulates the sleep-wake cycle, 

  • Promotes electrolyte balance, 

  • Reduces oxidative stress.  


For this, a magnesium deficiency can manifest itself in many different ways. From fatigue to nervousness, from cramps to disturbed sleep. 

 

Why is magnesium difficult to absorb? 

 

Magnesium has naturally low bioavailability, meaning the body cannot absorb large quantities in its "classic" form. 

 

The main reasons are: 

  • The type of magnesium salt: some forms are better tolerated, others can cause intestinal disorders or be only partially absorbed.  

  • Stomach pH: when the gastric environment is not in optimal conditions, absorption decreases. 

  • Interaction with other nutrients: some foods or medicines can reduce availability. 

  • Stress and inflammation: chronic stress increases the renal excretion of magnesium and hinders its absorption. 


This is why sometimes a traditional tablet or sachet is not always sufficient.  

 

Bio-Enhancer® Gel: the technology that improves magnesium absorption. 

 

Magnesium is highly sensitive to the acidic environment of the stomach, which is why its absorption is sometimes incomplete. 

To address this problem and improve the absorption of this mineral, Plas Pharma uses Bio-Enhancer® Gel technology, a patented system that significantly improves the absorption of active ingredients. 


The formulation with Bio-Enhancer® Gel allows to:  

  • Protect the ingredients of the formulation 

  • Allows gradual and controlled release  

  • Improve bioavailability  

  • Improve tolerability 

 

Magnesium in Plas Relax: a more effective daily support. 

 

In our Plas Relax gel supplement, magnesium plays a key role in promoting muscle and mental relaxation, supporting stress management, and improving the quality of evening rest.  

 

Thanks to Bio-Enhancer® Gel technology, this formulation: 

  • Allows for more efficient absorption of magnesium, 

  • Improves digestive tolerability,  

  • Ensures gradual and controlled release,  

  • Protects active ingredients throughout the gastrointestinal tract 

  • Optimizes the overall effectiveness of the supplementation 


 

The result is a more complete and physiological support to face intense days, regain mental calm and promote a balanced evening routine, every day.
