Lots of over-the-counter supplements from chemists and supermarkets often contain cheaper forms of magnesium with poor bioavailability. ❌❌

What does bioavailability mean? 🤔

Bioavailability is the percentage of a nutrient or supplement that enters your bloodstream and is usable by your body after consumption. Not all of what you take is absorbed. Factors like the form of the supplement and how it’s taken can affect bioavailability. Higher bioavailability means more nutrients are absorbed and used, making the supplement more effective. 🙌🫶

At The Living Health Group, we like to use a specific magnesium called Meta Mag®.

Meta Mag® is a chelated form of magnesium called magnesium bisglycinate, known for its high bioavailability. It resists binding to anti-nutrients in the gut, protects against water binding, and buffers pH to enhance absorption. Meta Mag® consists of magnesium bonded to two glycine molecules, which are small enough to be easily absorbed. This unique structure ensures better magnesium retention and effectiveness, making it a superior choice for supporting your body's magnesium needs. 💪

A very special Happy Birthday to Ben who celebrated his Birthday this past Saturday 🎉 We hope you had the best day ❤️❤️

There are five months of 2024 left 🤯

This is the perfect time to reflect, refocus, and push harder. Every day is an opportunity to get closer to your goals and be even better than you imagined. Let's finish this year strong! 💪

Not a great week on the training front. It was quite an emotional week, impacting training, and also dealing with an endo flare-up, leading to missing a key endurance session over the weekend. 😥

On the flip side, it's times like this that make listening to the body so important, taking the rest where it's needed. 🧘

On a positive note, my Sunday long ride on Zwift got me taking out Queen of the mountain and setting a new PB! 🙌🙌

Need to take the little wins in a crappy week. 💙

Training looked like...
132km of ridding
26km of running
2.4km of swimming
3 x Epson salt baths

Getting ready for a big weekend of training as the weeks continue to count down. 💪💪

Running both the boys and girls through a range of stretches and techniques to help reduce the risk of injury and build positive habits for their futures in sport. 🏃🏉

We look forward to cheering on the Waverley Park Hawks for the remainder of the season 🌟💪

As we count down the hours until the beginning of the 2024 Paris Olympics Games, here at LHG we are preparing to cheer on our Aussie athletes!! 🦘💛💚

Here's an update from one of the local clubs we support here at LHG 🌟💙

"Our Waverley Park Hawks teams are travelling along nicely in 2024 and have shown incredible dedication and resilience! We've witnessed some extraordinary performances and celebrated some outstanding and extraordinary milestones. We've faced tough opponents and navigated through various obstacles, but our collective spirit has remained unwavering. All our girls and boys are having a ball running around and enjoying their footy. Whilst we’ve had an amazing start to the first half of the season with sunny Sundays, the cold weather has kicked in and the muddy shorts and rain-soaked games are back! Out of our 16 teams, we have 8 teams sitting in the top 4 of their respective division ladders and 3 teams sitting pretty at the top. We’re looking forward to carrying this momentum into the second half of the season with lots more footy still to come and plenty more opportunities for growth and success! Go, Hawks"

GOLD COAST MARATHON UPDATE 🌟👟🏃‍♂️

Ben finally completed the Gold Coast Marathon! His goal was to run a sub-2:45 marathon, but unfortunately, he came down with an illness five days before the race. Despite this setback, Ben decided to give his best effort to achieve this goal. However, at the 23km mark, he faced a stitch problem, and both of his quads began to seize up around 30km. Struggling to breathe, he realized his goal was out of reach.

Nevertheless, Ben is very proud to have finished his first marathon in 2:50:33 and ran as hard as he possibly could and left nothing out there.

Congratulations Ben on such an amazing accomplishment!💪

After 12 strong weeks of training, it’s finally time for Ben to achieve his goal! Today Ben will run in the Gold Coast Marathon!! Goodluck Ben 🏃💪👟
