Why supply a precise amount of magnesium during pregnancy and lactation?Pregnancy and lactation are periods of the body’s increased demand for nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats. However, during this time the demand for vitamins and minerals also increases - these elements are supplied in smaller amounts, but it does not mean that they are less important. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals present inside every living cell. An increased demand for this element is caused by the intensification of the processes occurring in the expectant mother’s body, the accumulation of magnesium in the foetus and the placenta as well as by its loss through the milk of a lactating woman. As a consequence, during this special time every woman should receive about 15% more magnesium.
Chela-Mag B6® Mama is an excellent choice for supplementing the increased demand for magnesium during pregnancy and lactation. The correct magnesium absorption from the digestive tract and its distribution within the body is ensured by the fact that magnesium present in Chela-Mag B6® Mama supplement has the highest quality amino acid chelate form Albion®, characterised by an exceedingly high bioavailability and the efficiency of action.
What role does magnesium perform in a woman’s pregnant and lactating body?Magnesium is beneficial for muscular and circulatory systems as well as for the human skeleton. It is involved in the proper functioning of the muscles – not skeletal muscles exclusively, but also the cardiac muscle, the muscles present in the walls of blood vessels and the myometrium. It participates in maintaining the proper structure of bones and teeth. It influences the proper functioning of the nervous system, and relieves stress and tiredness. Magnesium deficiency results in feelings of anxiety and distress, concentration disorders and difficulties with falling asleep. Magnesium also plays a part in the reactions producing compounds which store the energy essential for living, as well as in DNA synthesis – the storehouse of the body’s genetic information.
Scientific research has shown that:
- the demand for increases during pregnancy and lactation,
- magnesium is essential for the proper course of many important processes, both in the mother and the developing child’s body,
- magnesium performs a crucial role in cell division processes,
- magnesium contributes to the proper functioning of muscles, including vascular smooth muscles and myometrium,
- magnesium increases the mineral density of bones, helping to maintain their proper structure,
- plays a part in maintaining proper psychological functions and nerve conduction,
- magnesium deficiency causes a serious increased risk of myometrium contractions that may result in premature birth,
- vitamin B6 facilitates the absorption of magnesium from the digestive tract and aids the proper functioning of the nervous system.
