A tribasic (or triprotic) acid is an acid that has three hydrogen ions to donate in an acid-base reaction. With the help of the figure we can see how citric acid is an example of tribasic acid, as it has three COOH carboxyl groups that can easily transfer hydrogen H. Magnesium citrate exists in both a 1: 1 proportion (1 magnesium molecule per citrate molecule), and in a 3: 2 proportion (3 magnesium molecules per 2 molecules of citrate)

To re-set the correct sleep-wake rhythms and encourage sleep can be useful to resort to melatonin , a substance produced by the pineal gland, which has the task of controlling biorhythms. Melatonin is useful in case of circadian rhythm disorders or against insomnia . Unlike sleeping pills, it does not induce sleep and does not alter the structure of the phases of sleep, but favors it

According to the ACI, among the fatal road accidents, the elusive "sleep stroke" (induced above all by: dehydration, drowsiness and difficulty concentrating when driving) takes in Italy up to 800 victims per year; obviously, the number of the injured and (fortunately) of the unharmed involved in such events increases dramatically

The use, or rather the abuse, of food supplements such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements, proteins, amino acids or derivatives (among which we also place creatine) and plant derivatives, is widespread among the general population in order to promote the health and / or improve certain sports skills

Melatonin is not only commercially available in the form of capsules or confetti. Sublingual melatonin preparations are also widespread, but transdermal patches and oral sprays have also been developed. Several studies have shown that 90% of melatonin in the blood is eliminated by the liver in the so-called "first pass"; consequently its half-life is very short (30-60 minutes)

Taken from: " Effects of Betaine Intake on Plasma Homocysteine ​​Concentrations and Consequences for Health ". Year 2005. Since it is possible that high blood homocysteine ​​is involved in increasing cardio vascular risk, it is advisable that it be maintained at normal levels. Folic acid contributes to this purpose and it seems that the supplement is responsible for the reduction of hyperhomocysteinemia up to about 25%; this occurs because 5-methyltetrahydrofolate assumes the role of methyl donor in the process of homocysteine ​​to methionine rimethylation. Betaine (t

It seems that the intake of vitamin B12, in some cases, has led to the development of certain hematological adverse reactions. In particular, the tendency to the formation of peripheral vascular thrombosis has been mentioned. The pharmacological treatment for B12 deficiency can therefore unmask a "polycythemia vera", characterized by a blood volume increase and the number of red blood cells

Recently a vitamin B12 supplement different from the traditional ones has been proposed, called methylcobalamin. As the name suggests (methyl), this is not a cyano-cobalamin and is offered in liquid form (drops) to be taken in sublingual form (doses of 5 mg). The metabolic fate and the biological distribution of methylcobalamin should be identical to those of cyan B12 present in foods of animal origin
