Ca-Mg: why calcium should be taken with magnesium?

The thing is that magnesium is necessary for the absorption of calcium (Ca), its entry into the blood directly depends on the presence of magnesium (Mg). Magnesium and calcium in our food is not so much. Their number is further reduced if a person actively trains, is in a state of chronic stress, constantly “sits” on unbalanced diets for weight loss, and is just used to finishing each meal with a cup of tea or coffee. Yes, yes, our favorite hot drinks interfere with the absorption of calcium and reduce the concentration of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). And since the main source of calcium in its deficiency are bones and teeth, the strength of bone tissue and tooth enamel naturally decreases, muscle growth slows down during active training, weakness, fatigue appear, and the likelihood of seizures increases.

Why does an athlete need magnesium?

The daily requirement for magnesium varies widely and ranges from 300 to 1000 mg. People who are physically active need much more magnesium than the average office worker. There are several reasons for this. The optimal level of magnesium provides:

• proper exchange of calcium and zinc, necessary for bone strength, muscle growth and testosterone synthesis;
• normal sensitivity of receptors to insulin and adrenaline, which reduces the likelihood of developing insulin resistance, increases the effectiveness of training;
• normal functioning of the nervous system, sound sleep, increased concentration, better memorization, getting rid of daytime sleepiness.

The Ca-Mg complex can be additionally "strengthened" by taking vitamin B6. This vitamin increases the positive effect of magnesium on the nervous system, which helps to establish a more stable emotional background, good mood, increased efficiency and physical activity.
