Collagen with magnesium is one of our most well-known products. Here we answer, in a simple way, the most common questions about its composition, benefits, and daily use.

COLLAGEN

Why does Ana María Lajusticia® collagen contain magnesium?
Magnesium helps the body form proteins such as collagen, which provides structure to bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and skin.

In other words, it helps keep what supports and moves your body strong and flexible.

That’s why we combine both nutrients: they work better together.

What is the difference between Collagen with Magnesium and Collagen with Magnesium + Vitamin C?
Both provide collagen and magnesium, but the one with vitamin C goes a step further: vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, which is necessary for the proper functioning of cartilage, bones, skin, blood vessels, and gums.

If you don’t eat much fruit or vegetables, the version with vitamin C may be a good option for you.

What is the origin of the Collagen?
We offer two main types:

• Porcine-derived collagen, obtained from skin and bones, which undergoes a natural enzymatic hydrolysis process to facilitate digestion and absorption.

• Peptan® marine collagen, sourced from the skin of 100% sustainably caught fish, with certified traceability. Its low molecular weight promotes excellent bioavailability.

In addition, we offer a plant-based alternative made with legume proteins (pea and lentil) and essential amino acids, designed for those who do not consume animal-derived products.

How long can I take collagen with magnesium?
It can be taken every day. Collagen provides proteins that help maintain tissues, and magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and bones.

Consistency is key: making it part of your routine will give you better results.

How much collagen do I need per day?
A regular diet provides between 2 and 4 g of collagen per day.

During periods of higher wear, aging, or physical activity, it may be beneficial to reach 6–10 g daily to keep connective tissue in good condition.

That’s why we include it in different formats and concentrations.

When I choose the tablet format, why do I need to take several per day?
Because proteins and minerals take up space: several tablets are needed to reach the daily dose.

If you prefer, there are also powder and liquid options, equally effective.

What is the best time of day to take collagen?
Whenever it suits you best: spread across the 3 main meals or divided into 2 servings.

The most important thing is to maintain daily consistency, not the exact time.

Does collagen with magnesium help take care of the joints?
Yes, it can be good nutritional support.

Collagen and magnesium provide proteins and minerals that contribute to the normal maintenance of bones, muscles, and cartilage.

It’s a simple way to take care of your joints, especially if you exercise or feel stiffness with age.

MAGNESIUM

What types of magnesium exist and how do they differ?
There are several forms of magnesium, and each is absorbed and tolerated differently. For example, chloride has a more stimulating effect on intestinal transit, while carbonate is gentler.

Magnesium Total® 5 combines chelated forms (such as citrate and bisglycinate) with others of gradual release to achieve balanced and sustained absorption.

That’s why we combine both nutrients: they work better together.

How much magnesium do I need per day?
The reference value for adults is 375 mg per day.

Requirements may vary depending on age, sex, or periods of greater physical or mental effort.

A varied diet, or an appropriate supplement, helps maintain normal levels of this essential mineral.

Why can magnesium have a laxative effect?
When the body doesn’t absorb all the magnesium ingested, the excess remains in the intestine and draws water, easing bowel movements by softening the stool.

This effect varies depending on the form chosen: chloride is more active, while slow-release formulas are gentler.

Can I have an excess of magnesium if I take it daily?
It usually doesn’t happen, as the body naturally regulates its absorption and elimination. Only people with kidney failure should consult their doctor before taking supplements.

How long can I take magnesium?
You can take it continuously, as it’s a nutrient we need every day.

Maintaining a good magnesium level helps the normal functioning of muscles, nerves, and energy metabolism, especially during periods of increased fatigue or activity.

What is the best type of magnesium for me?
It depends on your preferences:

• If you prioritize high absorption and good tolerance, choose chelated formulas such as Magnesium Total® 5.

• If you prefer a lighter format, you can opt for Magnesium Total® Liquid with lemon flavor.

• If you’re looking for a magnesium with an osmotic effect on the intestine, chloride and carbonate can be good options.

REST, MOOD AND STRESS

Which supplement can help me sleep better?
It depends on what you need:

• Tryptophan with Melatonin, Magnesium, and B6: melatonin helps reduce the time needed to fall asleep, and magnesium and vitamin B6 contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system.

• Tryptophan with GABA, Passionflower, and Magnesium: a combination designed to promote relaxation and mental well-being at the end of the day.

Take them before bedtime, in a calm environment with low light.

Can I take tryptophan if I’m taking antidepressants or anxiolytics?
If you are being treated with medication for mood or sleep, always consult your doctor before taking supplements with tryptophan, as they act on the same neurotransmitters.

How long should I take tryptophan or melatonin to notice results?
Melatonin acts quickly: it helps from the first dose to fall asleep more easily.

In the case of tryptophan, its effect is better noticed with regular intake over several weeks, as it contributes to the natural balance of the neurotransmitters of well-being.

Why does magnesium help with emotional balance?
Because it contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to balanced psychological function.

In addition, it helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, which can promote an overall feeling of calm and daily well-being.

PREGNANCY, BREASTFEEDING AND CHILDREN

Can I take Ana María Lajusticia® products during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
During these stages, the needs for some nutrients such as magnesium or iron may increase.

In our range, there are compatible products, such as those with magnesium, collagen, or vitamins, and others that are not recommended, such as those containing tryptophan, isoflavones, or evening primrose oil.

It is always advisable to consult your doctor or midwife before starting any supplement.

Why is magnesium important during pregnancy?
Because magnesium helps the normal functioning of muscles and the nervous system, and reduces tiredness and fatigue.

It also plays a role in the formation of the baby’s bones and tissues, and in the balance of calcium and phosphorus, key minerals for growth.

From what age can supplements be taken?
It depends on the product and individual needs.

In general, magnesium, collagen, or omega-3 supplements can be taken from the age of 12, always following the recommended dosage.

For younger children, it is best to consult the pediatrician first.

And even if a teenager is over 12 years old, it is not always advisable to give supplements for rest or emotional well-being without medical guidance.

Some should not be combined if the recommended dose of certain nutrients, such as tryptophan, is exceeded.

Which product helps maintain regular intestinal transit?
