Biolectra

Biolectra is a magnesium preparation that can be purchased over the counter. It is used in case of an increased need for magnesium. The active ingredient is magnesium oxide – equivalent to 400 mg magnesium ions.

Biolectra is available in the form of capsules. These are taken orally once a day without liquid and begin to dissolve in the mouth. Magnesium plays an important role in bone formation, muscle function and metabolism. However, food supplements such as Biolectra are no substitute for a healthy and balanced diet.

Calcigen D

Calcigen D Vital Complex contains calcium, vitamin D3, vitamin B12 and folic acid (vitamin B9) and can be purchased over the counter. With its active ingredients it is intended to support the health of the bones. Calcium is an important trace element in the body, which plays an important role both in the excitability of the musculature and in bone structure.

Vitamin D3 ensures among other things for the fact that calcium is taken up in the intestine from the food into the blood. Calcigen is used on the one hand with a lack of calcium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12 or folic acid, and on the other hand to support the treatment of osteoporosis. The daily dose is 2 times 1 chewable tablet.

This should be taken between meals. The preparation should not be used in case of severe kidney dysfunction. Possible side effects are: Increased levels of clacium in blood and urine, constipation, rash, itching, nausea, flatulence, hives and abdominal pain. If your condition changes negatively while taking Calcigen, a doctor should be consulted. Calcigen is used to support osteoporosis therapy, but does not replace it.
