What does it do?

Magnesium is an essential mineral for the human body, involved in various physiological functions. In pharmaceuticals, it is primarily used as a trace element supplement to support blood and hematopoietic functions. It particularly replenishes magnesium deficiency when included in intravenous fluids.

Magnesium helps regulate enzyme activity within cells and maintains nerve and muscle function. By keeping the magnesium concentration in the blood at a normal level, it supports the hematopoietic process and overall metabolic balance.

Good to know
