Practical guide

Food supplements for the muscles: which nutrients, which forms?

Our muscles make up a large share of body weight. To contract, relax and renew themselves, they need protein, energy and several minerals. Their mass changes over the course of life, depending on physical activity and diet.

This guide does not deal with sports preparation: it looks at how muscles work day to day, the nutrients whose role is recognised, and the other ingredients in this section, such as HMB or citrulline.

Magnesium

It contributes to normal muscle function.

Vitamin D

It contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.

Protein

It contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.

Understanding

How does a muscle work?

A muscle is made up of fibres containing proteins that can slide over one another. Contraction is triggered by a nerve signal and by calcium entering the fibre. Other minerals come into play, including magnesium, which contributes to normal muscle function and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Muscle proteins are constantly being renewed. With age, this renewal slows down: that is why protein intake and regular physical activity, including strength exercises, are often emphasised for older people.

Key nutrients

Which nutrients have a recognised role for the muscles?

Magnesium

It contributes to normal muscle function, to electrolyte balance and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnésium Bisglycinate provides 300 mg per 6 capsules.

Vitamin D

It contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and to the maintenance of normal bones.

Protein

Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass and to the maintenance of muscle mass. A 30 g serving of Protéines végétales provides 21 g.

Creatine

Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, with a daily intake of 3 g, the amount in one serving of our creatine monohydrate.

Other ingredients

HMB, citrulline, glycine: what are they?

HMB (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) is produced by the body from leucine, an amino acid. L-citrulline is an amino acid found notably in watermelon, and glycine is the smallest of the amino acids. These molecules are being studied, but no health claim is authorised for them in the European Union.

In HMB Magnésium, it is therefore the magnesium that carries the claim on muscle function. Magnesium oil and magnesium cream, for their part, are products applied to the skin and popular for massage: the magnesium claims relate solely to its consumption.

How to choose a supplement for the muscles

The form of magnesium

Bisglycinate, marine magnesium or mixed formulas: compare the amount of elemental magnesium.

The daily dose

Check the percentage of the reference intake stated on the label.

The origin of the protein

Pea and hemp are suitable for a plant-based diet.

Combinations

Add up the intakes if you take magnesium, vitamin D or calcium from several products.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ on supplements for the muscles

Which food supplement should I choose for my muscles?

Magnesium and vitamin D contribute to normal muscle function; protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass. The choice depends on your diet and your current intake.

Which magnesium should I choose for my muscles?

All forms of magnesium carry the same claim. Bisglycinate is bound to glycine; marine magnesium is extracted from seawater. Above all, compare the amount of magnesium per dose.

Is creatine only for athletes?

Its claim relates to successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, with 3 g a day. It is therefore mainly used by people who engage in this type of exercise.

Does HMB have an effect on the muscles?

HMB is being studied, but no health claim is authorised for it in the European Union.

Should I take protein as a supplement?

Not necessarily: meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, pulses and cereals all provide it. A powder can complement a low-protein diet. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
