| potassium magnesium aspartate | <chemical> An intra-extracellular electrolyte exchange agent with a variety of effects. Beneficial in cardiac insufficiency, potentiates the effect of cardiac glycosides by reducing their toxicity, has hypocholesteraemic effects and potentiates the effects of calcium in disturbed calcium metabolism. Synonym: panangin; tromcardin. Chemical name: DL-Aspartic acid, monopotassium salt, mixt. With potassium hydrogen (T-4)-bis(DL-aspartato(2-)-N,O1)magnesate(2-) (12 Dec 1998) |

| deficiency, magnesium | Can occur due to inadequate intake or impaired intestinal absorption of magnesium. Low magnesium (hypomagnesaemia) is often associated with low calcium (hypocalcaemia) and potassium (hypokalaemia) levels. Deficiency of magnesium causes increased irritability of the nervous system with tetany (spasms of the hands and feet, muscular twitching and cramps, spasm of the larynx, etc.). According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Recommended Dietary Allowances of magnesium are 420milligrams per day for men and 320 milligrams per day for women. The upperlimit of magnesium as supplements is 350 milligrams daily, in addition to the magnesium from food and water. (12 Dec 1998) |
