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, capsule, or ampoule form to be dissolved in water.
Difference between marine magnesium and conventional magnesium
Marine magnesium differs from "classic" magnesium in its origin: extracted from seawater, it offers a unique mineral composition (unlike terrestrial magnesium), with minerals naturally present in seawater, such as chloride, sulfate and potassium.
Is marine magnesium more effective?
Besides 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 of pure magnesium can differ between marine magnesium and classic forms, depending on the source and method of manufacture.
