Slow-Mag 100 Capsules 450mg

Slow-Mag is the magnesium South African doctors and pharmacists have recommended for decades. It uses magnesium chloride, a highly soluble form, in a slow-release capsule that delivers the mineral gradually along the intestine for better absorption and fewer stomach effects. The 100-capsule pack is the best-value option for long-term users, including people on diuretics or acid-suppressing medicine. Magnesium sits at the centre of energy metabolism, nerve conduction and muscle relaxation, and it helps the body regulate calcium, potassium and vitamin D.

If you take a water tablet for blood pressure or a daily stomach-acid reducer, you are losing magnesium every day. Intake is often low on a diet built around refined starch, and losses rise with sweating, alcohol, diuretics and long-term acid-suppressing medicine. Night cramps, eyelid twitches, tight shoulders and restless sleep are the usual early signs.
