1. What Magnesium Diasporal 300 is and what it is used for

Magnesium Diasporal 300 is used to prevent and treat magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium Diasporal 300 contains magnesium citrate as the active substance, which the body absorbs well. Magnesium is an essential mineral substance which is not synthesised in the body. Therefore, it is important to administer magnesium with food. If your diet is low in magnesium, you may develop magnesium deficiency. As a suppressor of excitability, magnesium regulates and stabilises heart rate, supports muscle cell function and thereby prevents muscle spasms.
More than 300 enzymes that need magnesium to function participate in metabolism. Magnesium also reduces the secretion of stress hormones (e.g. adrenalin) and balances the increased magnesium requirement in stressful situations.

2. What you need to know before you use Magnesium Diasporal 300 Do not use Magnesium Diasporal 300

-   if you are allergic to magnesium citrate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
