Why fortify
with magnesium?
Magnesium plays an important role in the function of the nerves and muscles and
is often called an anti-stress mineral. Magnesium is also vital for healthy
bones. Magnesium is lost through perspiration and therefore replenishing
magnesium losses after exercise and sports is essential. The magnesium content
of foods varies considerably. Major dietary sources of magnesium are whole
grains, nuts, fruits, legumes, cocoa, tofu, green leafy vegetables, and meat,
but processing steps eliminate magnesium from these foodstuffs. Several studies
in Western Europe, the USA and Australia have shown an inadequate magnesium
intake, which can be attributed to the shift in consumption patterns from fresh
to processed foods.
Why choose
PURAC magnesium sources?
PURAC offers two magnesium sources: PURAMEX MG (magnesium lactate) and GLUCONAL
MG (magnesium gluconate). Both magnesium sources have a neutral flavor, good
solubility, provide highly bioavailable magnesium and are very suitable for
magnesium fortification of food products and food supplements.
