Description Food supplement based on potassium and magnesium citrate.
Particularly helpful for people experiencing heavy fluid loss, such as heavy sweating, diuresis or diarrhoea, or for patients taking medicines such as diuretics, laxatives or corticosteroids.
It is also particularly useful for people who do intense sport, as it not only provides an adequate amount of readily absorbed potassium and magnesium, but supplies them in alkaline form, through citrate.
This alkalising action helps neutralise lactic acid in the muscles and allows it to be cleared more easily through the bloodstream.
This reduces the risk of cramps and muscle soreness.
Ingredients Tribasic potassium citrate, magnesium.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.
BIOKMag is contraindicated in patients with hyperkalaemia or hypermagnesaemia, or conditions that may predispose to these plasma alterations. These conditions include chronic kidney failure and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
Taking BIOKMag together with potassium-sparing medicines (triamterene, spironolactone, amiloride) may cause hyperkalaemia. Blood potassium levels should therefore be monitored.
No interactions with other medicines are known.
Rarely, mild gastrointestinal complaints may develop during treatment, such as abdominal heaviness, nausea and occasionally diarrhoea. The tablet version may be particularly suitable for these people.
