Magnesium 375^® Relax

Magnesium is a mineral that is present in abundance in the human body, where it performs several essential functions.

In addition to being a necessary cofactor for the action of many enzymes, magnesium seems destined to play an increasingly important role in the prevention of many health disorders.

Magnesium deficiencies can cause fatigue, headache, muscle tension, insomnia, irritability, restlessness and muscle cramps.

What causes magnesium deficiency?

Considering that only 30-40% of the magnesium ingested is absorbed by the body, a deficiency of it, besides being caused by an imbalanced diet, is associated with stress, intensive muscular exercise, menopause, pregnancy and insomnia as well as an unbalanced diet.

According to recent surveys, 20% of Italians are deficient in magnesium.

Magnesium can regulate muscular contraction, relieving fatigue and preventing the onset of muscle cramps, making it also useful for athletes.

It modulates the activity of the nervous system and protects the cardiovascular system from arrhythmias and palpitations.

Passiflora (Passiflora incarnata L.) is a native American plant that was traditionally used to alleviate mental stress and encourage sleep. Passiflora flowers contain many bioactive compounds, including flavonoids such as vitexin and alkaloids. Passiflora flower extract is effective against tension and is indicated for relaxation and sleep, and to favor mental wellbeing in times of stress, as well as for gastrointestinal motility regulation and the elimination of gas.

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is recommended as a mild sedative for sleep disorders and to relieve nervous symptoms such as excitability, anxiety and stress, due to the presence of rosmarinic acid. This plant has a spasmolytic action on the smooth muscles of the digestive system and can be used as a sedative for anxiety associated with visceral somatization.

Melatonin is a hormone with antioxidant activity produced by the pineal gland, from which it is synthesized starting from serotonin. Melatonin is important in regulating the sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm), body temperature, sexual maturation and reproduction. Melatonin production decreases with age and its effects extend well beyond sleep regulation to many more functions. In fact, it has excellent results for jet lag, as it improves the quality of sleep, reduces time awake, and makes the person feel more energetic and lucid when awakening after intercontinental journeys. It is also effective for people doing shift work.
