What it is and what it is used for
MAG2 is an oral medicine that contains magnesium pidolate as an active ingredient.
This medicine is used to treat symptoms of magnesium deficiency, such as: fatigue, muscle weakness and cramps that can be caused by various situations, such as stress, unbalanced nutrition or pregnancy. MAG2 allows for a rapid restoration of the amount of magnesium needed by the body (physiological magnesium quota), ensuring effective treatment of magnesium deficiency.

Other disorders caused by magnesium deficiency may include: irritability, nervousness, stomach and intestinal problems, irregular heartbeat.
In all these cases, it is necessary to take magnesium to improve symptoms.

For more information, see the paragraph Health education notes.
