Description
Valupak Magnesium 187.5mg Tablet is a trace mineral in a 50% NRV, one a day formulation for easy consumption. Magnesium contributes to normal psychological and nervous system function in addition to helping maintain normal bones and teeth and playing a role in normal muscle function. Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation. Magnesium is required for energy production, oxidative phosphorylation, and glycolysis. Magnesium acts as the gatekeeper for NMDA receptors, which are involved in healthy brain development, memory and learning. It prevents nerve cells from being overstimulated, which can kill them and may cause brain damage. Magnesium helps your heart muscle cells relax by countering calcium, which stimulates contractions. These minerals compete with each other to ensure heart cells contract and relax properly. Magnesium acts as a natural calcium blocker, helping your muscle cells relax after contracting. When magnesium levels are low, your muscles may contract too much and cause symptoms such as cramps or muscle spasms. Valupak was one of the first brands to be developed and distributed by BR Pharmaceuticals in 1995, providing high quality, low cost vitamins to the consumer. Valupak challenged the industry’s status quo, changing the face of OTC Vitamins & supplements in the UK forever. The brand prides itself on offering value for money products to the consumer.
