Benefits of Liposomal Magnesium

Magnesium is increasingly popular and is gaining more attention lately. It is a supplement mainly used for supporting joint and muscle health with additional benefits on mood and memory. Magnesium deficiency is common in Asian population as we do not get enough magnesium from our diet. Green leaves are the main source of magnesium but often get removed from our food due to cooking and boiling vegetables. Ageing is also one of the main reasons for impaired absorption. People with alcohol dependence and high blood sugar are often found to have insufficient levels. 

Magnesium supplements are a great choice to replenish levels of magnesium, but the efficacy of traditional magnesium varies because of its poor absorption. Only a maximum of 30% of magnesium intake is absorbed and utilized by our body. This makes delivering magnesium through liposomes a great choice due to its enhanced absorption and bioavailability. Encapsulated by phospholipid bilayer, ingredients can bypass challenges such as gastric acid and hepatic first pass effect to enter directly to our bloodstream for better efficacy. 

Magnesium are also delivered differently. Magnesium citrate is the best type and is known for its high bioavailability whereas magnesium bisglycinate is known for its added benefit in promoting sleep and mood. Magnesium oxide is another form of magnesium but is difficult to absorb, often causing digestive issues such as diarrhea. Magnesium sulfate comes with a bad taste and can be discouraging to use.
