Support for your energy

Magnesium contributes to reducing tiredness and supports normal energy metabolism — an asset for your health during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Origin and description

Magnesium glycerophosphate is a magnesium salt combined with glycerophosphoric acid, an organic form that provides both magnesium and phosphorus.

This form of magnesium is valued for its good absorption, bioavailability and gentleness on digestion. In the body, magnesium contributes to many functions, from normal energy metabolism to the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles. These needs can be more pronounced at certain stages of life, such as pregnancy or breastfeeding, when the body is under considerable demand. Choosing a well-tolerated form of magnesium matters as much as the intake itself: magnesium glycerophosphate stands out for its good assimilation and ease of use — a precious quality when consistency is what you're looking for day to day.

In its natural form, magnesium is found in a wonderful variety of foods, such as nuts, legumes, wholegrains, dark chocolate and certain seeds. However, its absorption varies from one food to another and from one person to another, depending on the food matrix and individual habits. Over the course of a day, it is not always easy to meet your needs through diet alone, especially during demanding periods. A supplementary intake, through fortified foods designed with maternity in mind, can then help you maintain a regular rhythm, without disrupting your meals or your little indulgent moments.

As a supplement, at Jolly Mama, we chose magnesium glycerophosphate for its digestive gentleness and good assimilation, so as to incorporate it into pleasure foods rather than a simple capsule. This organic form of magnesium is woven into our Broonies magnésium, our Peanut Mama and our Jolly Bread, for a magnesium intake that is both regular and indulgent. Its good absorption and bioavailability make it an interesting form for daily intake, without digestive discomfort. A brownie-style square, a peanut granola or a slice of Nordic bread then become a gentle and natural way to support your magnesium intake, day after day.

How does it work? (The science bit)

It all starts in your plate — or rather, in your snack. Once bitten into, magnesium glycerophosphate travels through the digestive system, where magnesium is gradually released and then absorbed in the intestine. Its form, known for being well assimilated and gentle, aims to facilitate this process by limiting the discomfort that some people experience with other forms of intake. The magnesium then enters the bloodstream, ready to play its various roles in the body.

Once available, magnesium contributes to multiple functions, from normal energy metabolism to the normal functioning of muscles and the nervous system, including normal muscle function. These contributions of magnesium can be particularly useful during pregnancy, a time when the body draws heavily on its resources. By choosing a well-assimilated, comfortable form of magnesium and maintaining a regular intake, the aim is simply to support everyday life gently, without disrupting your eating habits. You can find this form in our magnesium snack range.

Your questions, our answers.

The simplest way is to work our snacks into your enjoyable moments — at breakfast, as a snack, or when a little hunger strikes. A slice of Jolly Bread or a bite of Broonies gives you magnesium without even thinking about it. The goal is consistency, not performance: a few indulgent habits are worth far more than a one-off effort that's quickly forgotten.

Our magnesium glycerophosphate snacks are formulated to be compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue — welcome support during these intense periods. As every pregnancy is unique, above all listen to how you feel and what you fancy at any given moment.

Yes, magnesium glycerophosphate is chosen precisely for its good digestive tolerance. Unlike certain forms that can speed up transit, it is known to be gentler on the stomach. This is one of the reasons we selected it for our recipes, so that the pleasure remains complete, without any unnecessary discomfort.

Magnesium glycerophosphate is known to be well tolerated, with few digestive side effects, which is why we chose this ingredient. As with any magnesium supplement, a very high dose may soften stools in sensitive individuals. Our snacks offer a gentle form of supplementation, to be incorporated into a varied diet, without excess and according to your needs.

Magnesium glycerophosphate is a well-absorbed organic form, chosen for its gentle effect on digestion. Rather than a capsule to swallow, we incorporate it into snacks, making magnesium intake more enjoyable and consistent. Other forms of magnesium, such as bisglycinate or citrate, are also available as supplements, each with its own advantages depending on your tolerance.

Our snacks cover a good share of the reference intake for magnesium: one serving of Peanut Mama provides 188 mg, which is 50% NRV, two slices of Jolly Bread provide 169 mg, which is 45% NRV, and 1 broonie provides 171 mg, which is 45% NRV. They complement a varied diet without replacing it, for a regular magnesium intake throughout the day.

Our snacks are part of a varied and balanced diet, and are not a substitute for one. If you are following a treatment, particularly one involving magnesium, or if in doubt, seek advice from a healthcare professional before making them a daily habit. Follow the indicated portions and always adjust your consumption according to how you feel.
