Route serving with Magnesium-Diasporal® Sport - Limited Edition

Contribution from Diasporal

The time will soon come and the Uniper Düsseldorf Marathon with thousands of enthusiastic runners will start on April 27th. Magnesium-Diasporal® is this year's exclusive sponsor and will also be providing refreshments every 5 kilometers from kilometer 20 to the finish line. "For all those who have high performance expectations of themselves, refreshments along the route are particularly important."

A Magnesium-Diasporal® Sport - Limited Edition was developed exclusively for this event. The drink with a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution with magnesium and other important minerals and vitamins provides valuable support, especially when it comes to maintaining endurance performance and better water absorption.

The electrolytes compensate for losses caused by sweating during exercise. Calcium, copper and vitamin B2 also support energy metabolism and magnesium contributes to normal muscle function. Vitamin C and selenium contribute to the healthy functioning of the immune system, while vitamin B2 and copper support energy metabolism. For competitions lasting several hours, it is recommended to drink approx. 150-200 ml every 5 kilometers.

Magnesium: The key to more energy and performance

Whether you are preparing for a half marathon, marathon or relay race, magnesium is your key to more energy and performance. This mineral is a real all-rounder and plays a crucial role in your health and fitness. Let's discover together why magnesium is indispensable - both in everyday life and during sport.

Magnesium and sport: an unbeatable team

In Germany alone, almost 19 million people run regularly. This raises the question of why many active people and athletes have muscular problems. It is often the case that the start is too fast and the load is too high. This leads to muscular problems such as muscle soreness. Heat/cold applications, compression therapies or massages, physical therapies and nutritional measures can help here. Taking high doses of magnesium after exercise is also recommended. Physical exertion causes the body to lose fluids and minerals. A well-filled magnesium reservoir ensures relaxation and faster regeneration of the muscles. Magnesium is a component and activator of many enzymes, plays an important role in around 600 metabolic processes in the human body and has positive effects on muscle function. It also boosts performance.

Magnesium requirement during sport

To cover the daily magnesium requirement, the German Nutrition Society (DGE) gives an estimated value of 300-350 mg per day (depending on gender) for the appropriate intake for adults. However, these figures are only average estimates based on healthy people who do not engage in any particular physical activity. However, people who exercise a lot or do intensive sport have an increased magnesium requirement and should ensure a regular high-dose intake after each sporting activity during the regeneration phase.

Magnesium deficiency: causes and symptoms

A magnesium deficiency can manifest itself in many different ways and lead to increased tension in the body. Calf cramps and tension in the neck and shoulder muscles are some of the typical symptoms. But the nerves also need magnesium. A deficiency can lead to vegetative disorders such as inner restlessness, nervousness, sleep disorders and difficulty concentrating. Other signs of an undersupply can be twitching of the eyelid and repeated tingling in the fingers. As the body cannot produce magnesium itself, the requirement must be met through diet. However, this is often not so easy, as modern eating habits are often unbalanced and lack variety. The results of the National Nutrition Survey II show that 25% of our population consume less magnesium than recommended. Magnesium-rich foods such as cereal seeds and nuts are not eaten regularly.

Tip: Magnesium compounds, what's the difference?

The mineral magnesium is never absorbed on its own. It is always bound to another substance and is therefore present in the form of a salt. For example, as magnesium citrate or magnesium oxide. However, not every combination is equally bioavailable. Citrate is one of the organic salts that also occur in food and can therefore be easily absorbed. Our body is used to it and can therefore handle it well. The magnesium is released in the intestine and absorbed directly by the body. It is therefore quickly active. Studies (*Werner et al. 2019) also show good and rapid absorption of magnesium citrate. Info: Advantages of magnesium citrate
