Therapeutic properties
Magnesium is a microelement whose role in various physiological processes of the human body is very important. It is a transmitter of impulses from nerve fibers to muscle fibers. In addition, it provides the contractile activity of the latter.

Let's consider the most characteristiccases when the body suffers from a lack of magnesium:
- impaired absorption of magnesium from incoming food due to congenital abnormalities of metabolism;
- Magnesium deficiency due to prolonged starvation, poor diet;
- violation of magnesium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract due to prolonged diarrhea, some pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract;
- pathologically rapid excretion of magnesium from the body due to polyuria, diuretic medications, chronic pyelonephritis, primary hyperaldosteronism;
- increased body's need for magnesium in stressful situations, with increased physical and mental activity, pregnancy.
Indications for use
The therapeutic goals of both types of drugs are the same:
- Complex of the following symptoms, preferably accompanied by laboratory-confirmed indicators of magnesium deficiency, the following - sleep disorders, spasmodic muscle pain, palpitations, increased nervous excitability, spasmodic disorders of the intestines and stomach, tingling in muscle tissues.
- As a preventive measure to prevent the development of magnesium deficiency due to an increased need for it (pregnancy, stressful situations, a limited diet) or an increased excretion of magnesium from the body (kidney disease and the need for diuretics).
