Tiredness and fatigue often stem from periods of intense stress, when the body lacks the time and opportunity to rest and fully restore its energy reserves. These symptoms can be further aggravated by an unbalanced diet lacking in essential vitamins and minerals, undermining overall health.
One common culprit behind persistent physical and mental fatigue is magnesium deficiency. An inadequate intake or increased need for this vital mineral can lead to symptoms such as muscle cramps, irritability, tension, nervousness and insomnia. Magnesium plays a crucial role in the body, supporting the proper functioning of the nervous system, regulating heart rhythm, maintaining normal psychological functions, and promoting the relaxation of muscles and joints.
Magnesium supplementation can be a valuable aid for enhancing mental and physical well-being. Its properties are known to help alleviate mood-related disorders like anxiety and stress, as well as improve sleep quality. During sleep, the central nervous system engages in critical processes that repair cells damaged by daily metabolic activities, cleanse the brain of toxins, and strengthen cognitive functions by consolidating memories.
Furthermore, it is not uncommon during stressful periods to experience episodes of tachycardia or irregular heartbeat, often as a physical manifestation of underlying psychological and emotional distress. In such cases, magnesium can be a valuable ally in calming both mind and body, as it plays a key role in regulating nerve impulses, normalising blood pressure, and ensuring proper heart function by controlling the heartbeat and aiding in the contraction of heart cells.
SideMag: all the properties of Sucrosomial® Magnesium
Magnesium is an effective natural support for promoting relaxation and regulating the sleep-wake cycle, helping the body align with its natural biological rhythms. However, it is important to be aware that prolonged magnesium supplementation can sometimes lead to undesirable side effects, such as diarrhoea, nausea, cramps, and low blood pressure.
SideMag, magnesium formulated using the properties of Sucrosomial® Technology was developed to address the need for a more tolerable form of magnesium during prolonged use. Sucrosomial® Technology was developed and patented by Alesco to carry, protect and enhance the absorption in the intestines of nutrients that are essential for the health of the human body. The name originates from Sucrosome®, a special compound constituted by a phospholipid matrix, tricalcium phosphate and sugar fatty acid esters, which mixed with a starch source encapsulates the nutrient, promoting its absorption by the intestine.
Compared to other highly absorbable organic magnesium salts like magnesium pidolate, citrate or bisglycinate, SideMag Magnesium with Sucrosomial® Technology does not come into direct contact with the mucous membranes, thereby avoiding gastrointestinal discomfort, and is more readily absorbed in the intestines, making it highly tolerable even with prolonged daily use.
SideMag is a Sucrosomial® Magnesium Oxide formulation derived from highly concentrated magnesium oxide sources, containing at least 32% magnesium, does not interfere with the absorption of other minerals and is suitable for the formulation of dietary supplements in tablet, capsule, and sachet forms, as well as in functional foods and beverages.
SideMag has also been developed in a new version called SideMag Marine, which uses magnesium hydroxide sources of marine origin containing a minimum of 20% elemental magnesium. Like the original, SideMag Marine is based on Sucrosomial® Magnesium but is extracted from the pristine waters of the North Sea, offering high absorption and excellent organoleptic properties.
