Magnesium is a key mineral required for healthy bones. It helps in maintaining the bone density as it is one of the critical electrolyte required for mineralization of bones. Sources of magnesium in our diet are avocados, nuts, legumes, fish, tofu, flaxseeds and chia seeds. Magnesium is the 4th abundant mineral found in our body. It is needed to perform several functions in our body like energy metabolism for heart functioning, protein synthesis, muscle contraction and healthy brain functioning. But at times, there are conditions in which the requirement of magnesium increases. Daily magnesium requirement is 420 mg for males and 320 mg for females per day. If a person is involved in any athletic sport then the need gets increased by approx. 10-20%. An athlete loses lot of electrolytes including magnesium during exercise, which can result in imbalance leading to muscle cramps. To avoid this, one can opt for magnesium supplements. They are a convenient way to fill the dietary gap in meeting your daily needs. Steadfast Medishield who are pioneers in their field have come up with such an one-stop solution. They are fondly called as trailblazers as Magmaxx is one of their innovations which was launched recently. This is a magnesium oxide supplement with a strength of 400 mg per tablet. This is a oral tablet which was launched specifically to address the magnesium needs of renal patients. Even if it is safe for all but it is recommended to consult your doctor before consuming this supplement. Magmaxx is a pure magnesium oxide and the benefit of taking it is its high bioavailability. Since it is absorbed slowly so it wont get rapidly excreted out of our body. Before picking up a magnesium supplement, it is a good idea to have your magnesium levels checked by a doctor.
