Magtrate Tablet

MAGTRATE likely refers to a magnesium supplement used for treating nutritional deficiencies and improving magnesium levels in the body. Its uses include supporting muscle and nerve health, promoting relaxation and sleep, reducing cramps and headaches, and aiding in bone health by improving calcium absorption. It's also used to manage certain pregnancy complications, such as eclampsia.

Benefits and uses

Nutritional deficiency: Treats and prevents low magnesium levels in the blood (hypomagnesaemia). 

Muscle health: Helps with muscle cramps, spasms, and soreness by regulating muscle contractions and relaxation.

Nerve and brain health: Supports nerve function, neurotransmitter regulation (like GABA and serotonin), and may help with stress reduction, anxiety, and improving mood. 

Sleep: Can improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation. 
Bone health: Aids in bone formation by assisting with calcium absorption and vitamin D metabolism. 
Pregnancy support: Can be used to help manage pregnancy-related leg cramps and prevent seizures in cases of eclampsia. 
Cardiovascular health: May help regulate heart rhythm and blood pressure. 

Important considerations

• Consult a doctor: Always talk to a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you have existing health conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding. 
• Kidney issues: It is contraindicated for people with severe kidney impairment, notes Truemeds. 
• Dosage: Be mindful not to exceed the recommended daily dose, especially if you are taking other supplements that contain magnesium.
• Side effects: Possible side effects include diarrhea, nausea, stomach upset, or facial flushing. Taking it with meals may help with some gastrointestinal issues.
