Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a role in many bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and bone health. It has unique health benefits, is mainly laxative, and prevents constipation. The side effects are stomach cramps, diarrhea, and nausea. To get a sufficient amount of magnesium, eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. It is available in a liquid solution. Just take 10 ml orally, once daily, for one month.

You can schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for using icliniq.
