What is marine magnesium?
Marine magnesium is a mineral naturally present in seawater, rich in magnesium chloride and other minerals. It is available in powder form, capsules, or ampoules to be dissolved in water.
Difference between marine magnesium and conventional magnesium
Marine magnesium differs from "traditional" magnesium in terms of its origin: extracted from seawater, it offers a unique mineral composition (unlike magnesium of terrestrial origin), with minerals naturally present in seawater, such as chloride, sulfate, and potassium.
Is marine magnesium more effective?
In addition to this difference in origin, marine magnesium is often observed:
- Better absorption: thanks to its composition of various magnesium salts, marine magnesium is better absorbed by the intestine than conventional forms.
- Increased digestive tolerance: Marine magnesium is generally less likely to cause digestive problems such as diarrhea, compared to other forms of magnesium.
- Variable elemental magnesium content: the concentration ofpure magnesium may differ between marine magnesium and conventional forms, depending on the source and manufacturing method.
