ℹ️ Important Info & Considerations:

1. Dosage guidance

   • The product states: “As a food supplement, take one to three capsules daily with food.”

   • It also notes: “Not to be used during pregnancy or lactation unless recommended by your healthcare practitioner.”

   • Always check the packaging of the pack you buy, as sizes/formulations may vary.

2. Who should talk to a healthcare practitioner first

   • If you have kidney disease or heart disease: The supplement contains potassium and magnesium, which can affect these systems.

   • If you are taking medications for blood pressure, diuretics (water pills), or other cardiovascular-active drugs: Potassium and magnesium may interact with such medications.

   • If you are planning pregnancy or breastfeeding, or already pregnant: As above, use only if advised.

3. Not a substitute for healthy diet & lifestyle

   • As with all dietary supplements: “This is a food supplement not to be used as a substitute for a varied diet and lifestyle.”

   • While the product may help fill mineral shortfalls, relying solely on it without balanced nutrition and lifestyle may limit benefits.

4. Form & absorption

   • The product uses citrate forms of the minerals: Potassium (citrate) and Magnesium (citrate), which are generally more bio-available in the body.

   • The brand mentions soil-mineral depletion may make it harder to obtain sufficient magnesium/ potassium from diet.

5. Storage & usage tips

   • Store in a cool, dry place, away from children.

   • Take the capsules with food (helps absorption and reduces risk of stomach upset).

   • Check batch/expiry dates and ensure the packaging is sealed.

6. Expectations & outcomes

   • The product supports normal blood pressure, normal muscle function, nervous system function, electrolyte balance, reduction of tiredness & fatigue, and maintenance of bones and teeth (via the magnesium).

   • It is not a rapid “cure” for major disease. Benefits may accrue over time within the context of good diet + exercise + rest.

7. Possible side-effects & interactions

   • Because both potassium and magnesium affect muscles, nerves, heart rhythm and blood pressure, taking very high doses (above guidance) can cause issues. For example: high potassium (hyperkalaemia) in kidney disease; high magnesium (in those with renal impairment) can cause gastrointestinal upset, irregular heartbeat, etc. (General mineral supplement caution)

   • If you feel unusual symptoms (heart palpitations, muscle weakness, extreme fatigue, dizziness) after use, stop and consult your doctor.
