Key Benefits & Uses


Muscle & Nerve Support: Helps prevent and alleviate muscle cramps, twitches, and tension, which are often symptoms of magnesium deficiency.
Energy Production: Magnesium is a vital cofactor in the production of ATP, helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Stress Management: Supports the normal functioning of the nervous system, aiding in relaxation and the management of physical and mental stress.
Bone Health: Works alongside calcium to maintain healthy bone density and tooth structure.
High Bioavailability: The effervescent format ensures the magnesium is dissolved before ingestion, leading to faster and more efficient absorption in the gut.


Primary Ingredients


Magnesium (as Magnesium Carbonate/Magnesium Oxide): Typically provides 150mg to 250mg of elemental magnesium per tablet (dosage can vary slightly by regional formulation).
Other Ingredients: Citric acid, sodium hydrogen carbonate, inulin, and flavorings (usually lemon or orange).

Preparation: Dissolve one tablet in a glass of water (approx. 200ml). Drink immediately after the tablet has fully dissolved.
Best Time: Can be taken at any time of day, though many prefer taking it in the evening to aid muscle relaxation before sleep.


Safety & Side Effects


Digestive Effects: High doses of magnesium can have a mild laxative effect (softening of stools).
Precautions: Individuals with severe kidney disease should avoid magnesium supplements unless directed by a doctor, as the kidneys are responsible for excreting excess magnesium.
