As of October 6, 2019, magnesium sales grew 11 percent to $151 million, ranking 100th among all food ingredients, according to SPINS, a U.S. market research organization. "The rapid growth of magnesium has overtaken calcium in natural channels, and magnesium is expected to continue to grow rapidly as consumers begin to realize the importance of this ingredient to the human body," said the vice president of marketing for a health brand. "
interest in magnesium is on the rise. According to an August 2019 survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults conducted by the Committee on Responsible Nutrition, an industry trade group, magnesium is one of the top 10 dietary supplements most commonly used by U.S. consumers, with 18 percent of respondents saying they are taking magnesium.
has long been an underrated nutrient. In fact, magnesium not only activates the activity of various enzymes in the body, but also regulates nerve function, maintains the stability of nucleic acid structure, participates in protein synthesis, regulates body temperature, but also affects human mood and participates in almost all metabolic processes in the body. Anxiety, heart disease, muscle spasms and other health problems are all associated with magnesium deficiency.
dietitians believe that adults need to consume at least 350 milligrams of magnesium per day, 450 milligrams per day for pregnant and lactating women, and 500 to 600 milligrams for athletes and strong manual workers. According to statistics, more than half of Americans consume a serious shortage of magnesium. This is because although magnesium is present in most foods, it can be extensively destroyed during processing and has a low absorption rate.
according to SPINS, magnesium applications in dietary supplements are mainly concentrated in digestive health, brain health, heart health, mood, bone health, and blood sugar management. Magnesium is now one of the most popular minerals on the U.S. market, growing much faster than the first calcium, and is expected to surpass calcium sales across the next three years.
And in China's health care products market, magnesium more often only as a supplement to calcium, or a compound nutrient in an added element, almost no magnesium-based health food, the vast majority of consumers are unfamiliar with the health effects of magnesium.
the main reason for the rapid increase in sales in recent years is the role of brain health, mood improvement, sleep aid and so on.
magnesium promotes the production of melatonin and GABA, two of the main substances that promote sleep. Magnesium is an important aid in the conversion of tryptophan into serotonin and then into melatonin, and by stimulating the receptors of GABA neurons, the release of GABA, thus affecting the length and depth of sleep. In addition, magnesium reduces the release of the wake neurotransmitter glutamate and cortisol hormones by inhibiting glutamate neurons. So magnesium supplementation before bed is one of the effective ways to help solve insomnia.
is essential for immune health, but this is the result of teamwork that includes synergies such as zinc and vitamin D3. Zinc works by activating T cells, and vitamin D3 improves magnesium absorption, reduces the risk of infection, and protects against air-borne pathogens.
magnesium is supplemented with calcium, which can improve the absorption rate of calcium. Domestic magnesium health care products are mostly in the form of calcium and magnesium tablets, but often the calcium content of products is high, magnesium content is low. Calcium and magnesium have antagonism, the same ion structure, calcium ions easily extrude magnesium ions from certain enzymes, so it is necessary to maintain a certain proportion relationship.
the selection of magnesium supplements, absorption is important. Amino acid chelated magnesium is one of the most easily absorbed magnesium sources, including magnesium glycine, magnesium taurine, magnesium sulfonate, etc. , while most magnesium compounds have a slow diarrhea effect, the gastrointestinal population needs to choose a more gentle and safe magnesium source.
Magnesium glycine absorption rate is very high, is one of the most easily absorbed magnesium sources, and very safe and gentle, there is no strong laxative effect, suitable for maintaining overall health; These nutrients contain magnesium and appleic acid, which are good for cell production and storage of energy and are suitable for sports nutrition, while taurine and magnesium in magnesium taurine have the effect of stabilizing heart rhythm and lowering blood pressure, and are suitable for cardiovascular protection.
