Minerals
Minerals: magnesium, zinc and calcium
Minerals do not provide energy, but the body needs them every day. Sport, sweating, stress or a less varied diet can make them harder to cover: a supplement then helps to complement your diet.
Magnesium is the most popular: it contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal muscle function and to electrolyte balance. It comes as capsules, such as Applied Nutrition Tri-Magnesium, and as easy liquid shots: Body Attack Magnesium Shot and Weider Magnesium Liquid. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system: try Inlead Zinc Bisglycinate. Finally, calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones.
Follow the stated daily dose and add up what your different supplements provide (a multivitamin often already contains magnesium and zinc). For vitamins, see our vitamins range, and for hydration during exercise, our electrolytes. We deliver all over Luxembourg, or get advice in our Howald and Dudelange shops.
Frequently asked questions
When should I take magnesium?
Timing matters little: many people take it in the evening with a meal. What counts is following the stated daily dose.
Capsule or liquid magnesium?
It is a matter of preference: capsules are easy to carry, a liquid shot is taken in one sip without water. Compare the amount of magnesium per serving on each product page.
Can I combine magnesium and a multivitamin?
Yes, but add up the amounts in each product so you do not exceed the recommended doses. If in doubt, ask for advice in our shops.
