Optimum Absorption & Bioavailability: The Efficacy of Sucrosomial® Technology
Optimum Absorption & Bioavailability: The Efficacy of Sucrosomial® Technology
Magnesium is one of the hardest-working minerals, involved in more than 300 enzyme systems. A hero macro mineral critical for healthy functioning in the human body, magnesium assists in the production of energy, protects nerve and muscle function, promotes electrolyte balance and supports strong bones. Magnesium aids in muscle relaxation and contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Additionally, magnesium supplementation supports mental relaxation, neurological health and mental clarity by promoting optimal magnesium levels in the brain.
The Trouble with Magnesium
Conventional magnesium supplements present two challenges. First, they may cause uncomfortable side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and unwanted laxative effects. Second, certain foods and medications can interfere with magnesium absorption.
Maypro offers an innovative magnesium for dietary supplements, foods and beverages that overcomes these issues. It is gentle on the stomach while offering superior absorption.
The Sucrosomial® Solution
Sucrosomial® Magnesium is a highly bioavailable sucrosomial complex of magnesium oxide that provides 32% of elemental magnesium, and only 0.36% sucrose. Sucrosomial Magnesium enhances magnesium absorption, overcoming common gastrointestinal discomfort associated with traditional forms, and is gentle on the stomach compared to conventional magnesium oxide, reducing the risk of diarrhea and cramping.
It’s ideal for individuals who need a well-absorbed magnesium form without digestive issues commonly seen with other types.
What is a Sucrosome?
Sucrosomial® technology is a process that enrobes magnesium molecules into a sucrosome, a membrane comprised of phospholipids and sucrose ester of fatty acids (sucresters). The sucresters then act as emulsifiers which increases magnesium’s absorption and bioavailability while ensuring a neutral taste and no side effects.
The sucrosome carries the active ingredient through para-cellular and trans-cellular routes all while limiting the traditional barriers of absorption such as gastric acidity, the availability and competition for transporters, or interactions with enzymes and the mucosal lining.

The Research
Observed to have greater absorption into the blood when compared with magnesium citrate, bisglycinate, and oxide.
A one-day double-blinded repeated crossover study showed the variations in the effects of different magnesium administration at 350mg dosages; the magnesium forms tested were Sucrosomial Magnesium, magnesium citrate, magnesium oxide and magnesium bisglycinate. Administration with Sucrosomial Magnesium showed higher magnesium bioavailability to other sources and showed significant increases when compared to magnesium oxide. Sucrosomial Magnesium provided twice as much magnesium increase in the blood than other magnesium salts.
A human clinical study in individuals with proximal femur fractures and hypomagnesemia found that 30-days of exercise and Sucrosomial Magnesium supplementation (375 mg of elemental magnesium) provided a significant improvement in blood magnesium levels, pain reduction measured by the NRS scale, reduced risk of new falls as indicated by the Tinetti test, and improved quality of life according to the SarQoL.
Sucrosomial® Marine Magnesium
Formulators can also select Sucrosomial® Marine Magnesium, a natural source of magnesium hydroxide derived from seawater, providing a natural spectrum of trace minerals that may support overall mineral balance. Advantages include higher bioavailability as more magnesium is absorbed at lower doses and is gentle on the stomach, reducing cramping and diarrhea, resulting in less GI distress. Sucrosomial® Marine Magnesium is preferred for long-term use without digestive side effects.
