From recovery to performance

Feeling those tight muscles after your run or workout? Here are three ways that magnesium can support your road to recovery.

Muscle function: Magnesium is an essential mineral for how your muscles function because it plays a crucial role in muscle contraction and relaxation. After exercise, your muscles may feel tender or fatigued, impairing sports performance and hindering a quick recovery. Magnesium supports muscle recovery, reducing the risk of muscle tightness and tension that could occur after exercise. This means you can return to your favourite sport or outdoor activities quicker!

Muscle repair: When you exercise, your muscle fibres undergo microscopic tears and damage, which triggers a healing response in the body as it works to repair the damaged tissues. Even though it is a normal and necessary process for repairing and rebuilding muscles, it can also cause discomfort. Magnesium can help support recovery, and your muscles will thank you for it!

Supports muscle growth: Magnesium is necessary for the proper function of enzymes that build proteins. Protein synthesis is the process by which cells build new proteins, including muscle tissue, which is essential for muscle growth and repair. Without adequate magnesium levels, protein synthesis can be compromised, which can hinder muscle growth. Whether you’re trying to build those biceps or tone up, ensure you have magnesium in your gym kit!
