1. What is Filomag Uno and what is it used for
The magnesium in Filomag Uno, in the form of magnesium hydroaspartate, performs many metabolic functions in the human body. It is an activator of many enzymes, mediates energy production and transport in the body, and is essential for the functioning of the heart, nervous system, smooth muscle of blood vessels, and striated muscles. A magnesium deficiency increases the risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack, and arrhythmias. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include: hyperexcitability, difficulty concentrating, increased stress susceptibility, and skeletal muscle disorders (tremors).
