About the active
Magnesium (Citrate)
Magnesium is an essential mineral and a cofactor for more than 300 enzyme systems in the human body, including those involved in muscle and nerve function, blood-glucose handling, and the energy currency molecule ATP. Dietary sources include leafy greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes; daily requirements vary by age and sex.
This product supplies magnesium as magnesium citrate, a pharmaceutical-grade salt with high bioavailability. The elemental magnesium dose per sachet is shown on the carton — typically 295 mg per 5.5 g sachet.
Indicated to help support healthy magnesium levels in the body, to help reduce occasional muscle cramps in healthy adults, and to support healthy muscle and nervous system function.
Safety: not for use in severe kidney impairment. Excess intake may cause diarrhoea. Discuss with a pharmacist before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you take antibiotics, bisphosphonates, levothyroxine, or potassium-sparing diuretics — magnesium can reduce the absorption of several oral medicines if taken at the same time. Separate doses by at least 2 hours.
