1 tabl contains 300 mg or 500 mg Magnesium aspartate, corresponding to approximately 20 mg or 34 mg Mg, respectively.
Action:
Magnesium is an activator of many enzymes, including transferring high-energy phosphate compounds. It is a cell cycle regulator, eg it determines the correct concentration of potassium in the cell. It plays an important role in the process of muscle contraction (including myocardium), affects neuromuscular excitability (calcium antagonist). It also has a positive effect on the blood coagulation process - it is a stabilizer of platelets and fibrinogen. It stimulates the defense mechanisms of the body, influences the proper development of the skeletal system, and also has a calming effect. Magnesium deficiency is manifested by increased muscle tone, muscle tremor, muscle cramps, in extreme cases, weakness, nausea and vomiting, tantrum attacks, cardiac arrhythmias, mental changes - depressive symptoms, irritability, anxiety, hallucinations, sleep disorders. Daily demand for magnesium is about 300 mg and increases with accelerated passage through the digestive tract, excessive consumption of alcohol, stressful situations, excessive effort. Aspartic acid is an amino acid involved in the metabolism of nerve tissue; it has a stimulating effect on brain function, improves memory and concentration, relieves the feeling of fatigue, improves the sleep pattern.
