Magnesiocard® powder 5 mmol sachet, 20 ST

Magnesiocard® 5 mmol powder is used to treat magnesium deficiency. This can, for example, cause disturbances in muscle function (such as neuromuscular disorders and calf cramps).

A deficiency in the essential mineral magnesium can have many causes, such as an unbalanced diet, an increased need for magnesium (pregnancy, breastfeeding, etc.) or increased loss of magnesium, for example in cases of diabetes mellitus or due to everyday stress. Given the wide-ranging functions of magnesium in the body, a deficiency can manifest itself ‘in all sorts of ways’. Calf and toe cramps, tension in the neck, shoulders and back, eyelid twitching, nervousness, inner restlessness, headaches and chest pain, or premature labour during pregnancy are just the tip of the iceberg.

Based on scientific research and clinical experience, Magnesiocard® is frequently used during pregnancy, for example. This is because pregnancy is often a classic situation where magnesium deficiency can occur, as not only the expectant mother but also the unborn baby requires a supply of magnesium. Furthermore, magnesium is lost in greater quantities through the urine during pregnancy. A magnesium deficiency during pregnancy can lead not only to calf cramps but also to premature labour.

Furthermore, Magnesiocard® is used for heart problems caused by magnesium deficiency, for magnesium deficiency resulting from diabetes mellitus (diabetes), and for hyperactive children who are deficient in magnesium.
