Morning Magnesium - Magnesium Complex

Wake Up Maggie™ - Magnesium Complex from Smidge

The important mineral magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions in our body. The mineral helps with fatigue, as it promotes energy metabolism, is good for the muscles and contributes to mental resilience. Wake Up Maggie™ - Magnesium Complex consists of pure magnesium in the form of magnesium taurinate, magnesium malate and magnesium orotate and is enriched with the mineral boron. The product is pure and contains no other ingredients.

Everything about Wake Up Maggie™ - Magnesium Complex

Magnesium is an important mineral for our body, as also recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Magnesium promotes energy metabolism and contributes to mental resilience. Magnesium also plays a role in maintaining supple and strong muscles, has a positive effect on the nervous system, is good for memory, contributes to strong teeth and is important for the heart and blood vessels. Wake Up Maggie™ - Magnesium Complex consists of pure magnesium in the form of magnesium taurinate, magnesium malate and magnesium orotate. A balanced mix of different types of magnesium was deliberately chosen, instead of just one type. The lesser-known, but fascinating mineral boron has been added to this composition, which is thought to play an important strengthening role in nature and about which many interesting discoveries are still being made. The product is pure in form and contains no fillers, additives, artificial colours or flavours and is free from all common allergens.

About the intestinal flora

The intestinal flora is a collective name for all micro-organisms living in the intestine. There are about 100 trillion of them in total! The body is, as it were, a host for these microbes. One type is more desirable than the other and they can be divided into the resident and the passing intestinal flora microbes. When these are in balance with each other, there is homeostasis, a key process in our body. Not only are essential substances produced, such as vitamins and neurotransmitters, the microbiome also plays a key role in the digestion of food and therefore in the absorption of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Our intestinal system is not only very complex, it is also as unique as our fingerprint! The collaboration between the body and the intestinal bacteria is one of the most ingenious collaborations in our body.

How do bacteria and enzymes function?

Our intestinal tract is a complex system that is populated by billions of micro-organisms that all have their own task within the larger whole of our intestinal flora. In order for digestion to proceed properly, the body works together with these micro-organisms. In a normal intestinal flora, these types are in balance with each other, a balance that is different for everyone. Enzymes are able to accelerate all kinds of processes in our body, they are, as it were, the workhorses of our body. Enzymes can sometimes accelerate processes up to a trillion times! Digestive enzymes also work as a kind of catalyst in our intestinal tract. They are 'chemical factories' in our body that we should cherish.

The unravelling of our intestinal flora

We are gaining more and more insight into the functioning and important functions of our intestinal flora, but in reality we still know very little about this mysterious 'organ' in our body. The knowledge we have now is probably just the tip of the iceberg! For example, we are slowly beginning to understand the special ways in which bacteria communicate with each other via a mechanism known as 'Quorum Sensing'. The mechanism enables bacteria to constantly communicate with each other and to coordinate their behaviour by secreting signal molecules. They can, among other things, know how many of their own kind they are with, and then trigger a synchronous response from a certain number of their own kind. Friendly bacteria communicate and work together via Quorum Sensing, a phenomenon that is still as fascinating as it is mysterious to many researchers.

The History of Probiotics

The term 'probiotics' was first used by the German physician Werner Kollath, who describes probiotics as 'active substances that are essential for a healthy life'. However, the development and use of probiotics are much older. For example, the first use dates back to the Neolithic period, between 10,000 and 5,000 BC. Because herders in the Middle East at the time stored their milk in goatskin bags, which were exposed to the burning sun during the day, the milk began to ferment. During this time, the use of other fermented foods, such as kefir, beer and wine, also emerged. It was not until much later, in the 19th century, that people discovered which processes underlie this and what their importance was. The French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur in particular was significant with his theory that the cause of many diseases was a minuscule living being, which he called a 'micro-organism'. This important discovery in medical science eventually led to many other insights, such as the development of vaccines, the sterilization of instruments and wound dressings, and the pasteurization of foods.

About Organic 3

Organic 3 supplements specifically target digestion and the intestines. They are made without unnecessary additives, making the products suitable for even the most sensitive users. The name Organic 3 originated from the fact that the three founders understand that good nutrition is the key to good health. They are therefore convinced that not only organic food, but also supplements without unnecessary additives are the best for our body. When compiling their product line, the founders of Organic 3 were inspired by their passion for the work of Dr. Weston A. Price and Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. This ultimately resulted in a unique product line, the formulations of which are composed with the greatest care. This not only prevents unpleasant side effects, but also gives the best possible result.
