Description
Food supplement containing magnesium, zinc and copper with alpha-lipoic acid, devil's claw, California poppy, spiny restharrow and feverfew; indicated to provide an additional intake of these nutrients in cases of deficiency or increased need. The nutritional components in the product can contribute to: normal muscle function (magnesium); maintaining normal connective tissues (copper); protecting cells from oxidative stress (copper and zinc). The plant extracts can: promote joint function (devil's claw and feverfew); counteract localised tension (feverfew); promote a state of relaxation (California poppy) and promote the drainage of bodily fluids (spiny restharrow).

Properties
-Ononis spinosa (d.e.): the roots and rhizomes of this plant are used; it has a spasmolytic and muscle relaxant action on smooth muscles, also promoting a mild diuretic action.
-California poppy (d.e.): the aerial parts of this plant are rich in protopine, which has an analgesic and muscle relaxant action and is particularly indicated in cases of conditions characterised by muscle spasms.
-Devil's claw (d.e.): in addition to the well-known anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic action of the phytocomplex, devil's claw is also able to exert an analgesic and hypouricemic action, thus making it a useful adjuvant in the treatment of gouty conditions.
-Feverfew (d.e.): the aerial parts (flowers and leaves) of this plant belonging to the Composite family are rich in lactonic sesquiterpenes, among which parthenolide is the main representative. Feverfew has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory action and, regarding the mechanism of action, an inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis has been demonstrated, which appears to be mediated by an inhibitory effect on phospholipase. An inhibitory effect on both the 5-lipo-oxygenase enzyme and on the activation of inducible forms of cyclo-oxygenase and nitric oxide synthase enzymes would also contribute to the anti-inflammatory action of parthenolide.
-Alpha-lipoic acid: from a metabolic point of view, it acts as a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in the glucose conversion process, but some of its structural characteristics make it extraordinarily effective as an antioxidant and therefore indispensable in counteracting the damage associated with the formation of free radicals. In this specific case, it acts by improving the speed of nerve communication and exerts a normalising action on nerve sensitivity, thereby reducing both pain and sensory torpor.
-Zinc: it is an essential mineral and, in terms of quantity, it is the second most abundant in the body. It plays an essential role both in the absorption and utilisation of vitamins and in the constitution of most enzymes with metabolic action. For this reason, it is absolutely fundamental for good muscle function.
-Magnesium: it presides over ion transport mechanisms, allows muscle contraction and the function of cellular ion pumps. It plays a fundamental role in the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, participates in ATP synthesis and stabilises it in the cytoplasm. For these many reasons, it is essential for the physiological functioning of both voluntary and involuntary muscles.
-Copper: it is an essential element for the human species. In various tissues, it acts mainly as a cofactor for numerous enzymes in turn involved in various physiological functions and is also contained in some proteins. Its action is important for skeletal mineralisation and for the formation of new red blood cells and connective tissue.
