- Plays a key role in regulating the heart rate and muscle release.
- Maintains equilibrium in the nervous system, often described as a natural anti-stress agent.
- Combines magnesium and orotic acid, producing a supplement with high bioavailability.
Magnesium Orotate is a natural compound in which magnesium is bound to orotic acid to facilitate transport of the magnesium across cell membranes. Combining magnesium and orotic acid in this way produces a supplement with high bioavailability.
Like calcium and potassium, the body needs magnesium in order to function properly.
Magnesium's benefits extend still further - it participates in hundreds of reactions within the body, such as protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, carbohydrate breakdown and hormone secretion.
Despite the many functions it fulfils, magnesium cannot be synthesised by the body and must be ingested in order to meet our daily requirements. Although it is found in foods such as cocoa, dark chocolate, cereals and dried fruit, intake from the diet is often inadequate. Deficiency is particularly common in older people but can also occur during periods of physical exertion or stressful situations.
Magnesium deficiency can be difficult to diagnose, potentially manifesting in fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. These early symptoms can gradually progress to include muscle cramps, numbness, tremors and heart irregularities. As well as being indicated in cases of deficiency, magnesium supplementation also offers preventive and curative benefits. For example, it is used to treat:
