Magnesium + Potassium

Muscle fatigue is the temporary inability of muscles to maintain constant strength or power, which affects physical performance. It manifests as a decreased ability to perform activities, accompanied by muscle pain, cramps and weakness.

The main causes include deficiencies of minerals such as magnesium and potassium, lactic acid build-up, dehydration, excess training and, in women, hormonal fluctuations that affect energy metabolism.

Fatigue reduces the ability to complete routines or physical activities efficiently, prolongs recovery time and causes muscle weakness, negatively affecting overall performance.

Yes, women are more prone due to hormonal fluctuations in the menstrual cycle and menopause, which alter muscle function. In addition, their magnesium and potassium levels tend to decrease more rapidly after exercise.

Symptoms include painful muscle cramps, weakness, a general feeling of exhaustion and slow recovery after exercise.

To prevent it, a diet rich in magnesium and potassium, adequate hydration, supplementation when necessary, sufficient rest between workouts and adjustments in physical activity according to hormonal cycles are recommended. An intake of at least 300-400 mg of magnesium per day is recommended, so it will often be necessary to add a specific supplement to the diet to help meet these requirements.
