When can I expect results — will the tablets work straight away, or does it take time? — Magnez Gold Skurcz Tablets N50 - ALG PHARMA

Magnesium and potassium are neither painkillers nor antispasmodics. Their effect is linked not to a single dose but to regularly replenishing these minerals in the diet. If the body has been getting insufficient amounts of them for a long time, one or two tablets will not change the situation instantly.

The logic is this: the supplement gradually makes up for what food does not supply in sufficient amounts. That is why it makes sense to regard ALG PHARMA Magnez Gold Skurcz as part of your regular diet rather than as an emergency remedy for acute discomfort.

In practice, this means taking the tablets as a course, at the same time each day, without skipping days. Many people choose to take them with meals — this reduces the likelihood of stomach discomfort, which sometimes occurs when magnesium is taken on an empty stomach.

If muscle cramps are frequent or severe, or do not go away while you are taking the supplement, that is a reason to see a doctor, as the cause may lie in more than a lack of minerals.
