Water Relax: Your magnesium hero

What exactly is in Water Relax?

Water Relax is a dietary supplement that contains five different forms of magnesium: magnesium malate , magnesium bisglycinate , magnesium citrate , magnesium taurate , and magnesium L-ascorbate .

Water Relax is orthomolecularly composed, which means that we always try to bring the right forms in the right quantity and in the right combination.
By combining these 5 different forms we strive for the best possible absorption and functioning of the mineral.

And Water Relax is not just any random mix.
We deliberately chose 5 organic magnesium forms, which makes the composition widely applicable.
The taurine and glycine forms of magnesium are highly desirable in brain cells where magnesium contributes to normal psychological function .
According to scientific research, the malate and citrate forms are more focused on reducing fatigue and supporting muscle function .
Magnesium L-ascorbate is the buffered form of vitamin C, the many benefits of which are now known.

In addition to magnesium, Water Relax also contains 300mg of potassium per daily dose.
Potassium has many functions that are similar to those of magnesium in some respects. Let us briefly review the functions of these minerals in Water Relax.

1. Potassium
Potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure . The blood pressure regulating effect of potassium is achieved, among other things, by the dilation of the blood vessels .

Potassium is also one of the most important ions in the cell and plays a significant role in the transport through the cell membranes via sodium-potassium pumps. Where sodium (the main component of table salt) helps the body to retain water , potassium helps to re-optimize the balance in the case of excess sodium in the cell.
Sodium and potassium work very closely together in this way.

2 . Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential nutrient that is involved as a cofactor in over 300 enzymes in various body reactions. Magnesium is part of the ATP complex, which makes it involved in energy-yielding metabolism .
50-60% of magnesium stores are located in our bones, where it contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones .
Magnesium also plays a role in our electrolyte balance and as
previously mentioned, magnesium also contributes to normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue .
That was quite a mouthful, wasn't it?

3. Potassium and Magnesium
Our muscles consist of fibers that slide in and out of each other. Relaxing these muscles does not just happen, for this magnesium and potassium are needed.

The link with the skin?
We know that proteins the building blocks, foundations of our skin. We also know that magnesium plays a role in protein synthesis . That is to say: magnesium helps the body to combine different amino acids into useful proteins for, among other things, skin construction.
Did you know: If there is one protein that interests many, it is collagen . Collagen provides the firmness of the skin. Collagen production decreases with age, which is one of the causes of wrinkle formation. In order to stimulate our own collagen production, we need magnesium as a cofactor in the synthesis of the protein collagen, in addition to amino acids.

What daily dose?
The standard dosage is 3 tablets per day.
The packaging recommends taking the tablets 30 minutes after a meal so that sufficient stomach acid has been produced to ensure optimal absorption.
That's in theory, in practice you can certainly also take them with a meal.
Personally, I forget to take them otherwise, and then the absorption is certainly not optimal ;)
You can take the 3 tablets at once or spread them out over the day.

PS: If you take Daily Boost in the morning, choose 2 tablets of Water Relax per day as Daily Boost also contains magnesium.

Conclusion?
Water Relax is very widely applicable since magnesium and potassium play a role in an infinite number of different processes. For that reason I consider Water Relax, next to Daily Boost and Mighty Nine, as one of the absolute basic supplements in the RainPharma range.
And good news, there are even some Water Relax Family Packs which are approximately 25% cheaper than individual packages.
