1. What Asmag is and what it is used for

Asmag is a medicinal product containing magnesium.
Magnesium is one of the essential structural components of the human body.
Magnesium exerts a protective effect on the heart muscle, participates in bone development and mineralization, is necessary for the synthesis of certain hormones (e.g., insulin), counteracts stress, hypoxia, allergies, and inflammatory conditions.
Magnesium deficiency weakens the body's immune system, leads to disorders of the circulatory and nervous systems, muscles, and bone tissue, and accelerates the development of atherosclerosis.
Indications:

  • Prevention and treatment of magnesium deficiency in the body.
