Product Name & Strength: Nature's Field Magnesium Citrate, 90 Tablets.
Indications (Approved Uses): Dietary supplementation intended for the prevention and treatment of magnesium deficiency. It is universally utilised as an osmotic laxative to relieve constipation by drawing water into the intestines to soften the stool and ease bowel movements. Furthermore, it supports normal muscle and nerve function, promotes cardiovascular health, and contributes to proper bone development.
Contraindications (Safety Warnings): Hypersensitivity to magnesium citrate or any of the excipients in the formulation. It is strictly contraindicated in individuals with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease due to a significant risk of developing toxic hypermagnesaemia. Use with caution in patients with heart block, myasthenia gravis, or undiagnosed abdominal pain. Potential interactions include the reduced absorption of oral bisphosphonates, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolone antibiotics if administered concurrently; doses should be separated by at least two hours.
Side Effects (Adverse Reactions): Generally well-tolerated at standard supplemental doses. Potential adverse effects are primarily gastrointestinal, including osmotic diarrhoea, mild abdominal cramping, nausea, and flatulence. Severe hypermagnesaemia (characterised by hypotension, respiratory depression, and muscle weakness) is rare but can occur in patients with compromised renal function.
Active / Nutritional Information: The active ingredient per serving is Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate) 400 mg, formulated alongside non-active excipients including microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and a coating comprising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and polyethylene glycol.
Instructions for Use / Dosage: For oral administration. The standard serving size is two tablets. Adults typically take one serving daily, preferably with a full glass of water to optimise absorption and minimise gastrointestinal discomfort. Always consult the physical package labelling for exact manufacturer dosage guidelines or follow the direct advice of a healthcare professional.
