Although ALG Pharma Magnez Gold Cardio is a food supplement rather than a medicine, its composition calls for a careful approach in a number of situations.
- Taking heart or blood vessel medication, or monitoring blood pressure. Potassium and hawthorn extract are ingredients that can affect the action of some cardiac and antihypertensive medicines. Before combining them, it is worth consulting a doctor or pharmacist.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding. The folic acid in the formula is an important nutrient during pregnancy, but the overall dosage of the complex and the combination of ingredients should be agreed with an obstetrician-gynaecologist.
- Chronic kidney disease. If kidney function is impaired, the excretion of potassium and magnesium may be altered, so taking additional amounts of these minerals requires medical supervision.
- Taking other supplements containing magnesium or potassium. The total intake of minerals from several sources should be taken into account so as not to exceed reasonable amounts.
In other cases — with an active lifestyle, stress or irregular meals and no chronic conditions — the supplement can be used as an addition to the diet. A food supplement does not replace a complete diet or a specialist's advice.
