Transform standard supplements into comprehensive performance solutions by combining magnesium with clinically validated MenaQ7®. This powerful duo addresses bone health, muscle recovery, and cardiovascular output through EFSA-authorized claims.
Magnesium: Essential Mineral with Authorized European Health Claims
Athletes and active consumers rely on this essential mineral for multiple performance benefits. According to EFSA-authorized health claims, magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue—essential for managing demanding training schedules and competition periods. It also supports normal muscle function and protein synthesis, enabling efficient recovery following intense exercise sessions. Additional authorized claims highlight broader wellness support. It contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and electrolyte balance, both critical during physical exertion. Magnesium also supports maintenance of normal bones, providing structural integrity for long-term athletic participation.
These regulated claims enable European sport supplement manufacturers to communicate clear benefits that resonate with health-conscious consumers seeking reliable nutrition solutions.
MenaQ7® Creates Powerful Bone Health Synergy
While magnesium provides the structural groundwork, adding MenaQ7® creates a powerful synergy for skeletal health. Magnesium and Vitamin K2 work together to ensure calcium is used effectively. MenaQ7® is shown to activate osteocalcin, the protein responsible for binding calcium to the bone matrix. Without adequate Vitamin K2, bones can become weak and brittle. MenaQ7® is the most clinically validated Vitamin K2 to significantly improve bone mineral density and bone strength.
For supplement manufacturers, choosing MenaQ7®—the most clinically proven natural Vitamin K2—allows a premium performance and mobility range that offers a higher standard of bone support than magnesium alone.
Cardiovascular Performance and Energy Enhancement
This combination extends benefits beyond skeletal health to deliver measurable cardiovascular improvements critical for athletic achievement. While EFSA allows for a claim on normal energy-yielding for magnesium, emerging clinical research demonstrates Vitamin K2 could impact aerobic capacity during exercise.
Studies with trained athletes revealed impressive findings. Eight weeks of supplementation increased maximal cardiac output by 12% during exercise testing protocols. This improvement reflects Vitamin K2’s role in optimizing mitochondrial function and ATP production—the primary energy source powering muscle contractions during high-intensity physical activity. In fact, the study suggests that K2 supplementation could potentially reduce the training window required to achieve these cardiac improvements by approximately 60%
By expanding your magnesium portfolio with MenaQ7®, you provide a scientifically backed, multi-functional product that addresses the two most critical pillars for athletes: peak cardiovascular performance and robust skeletal mobility.
