Prescribing Information
Potassium, magnesium and phosphate support energy production and neuromuscular and cardiovascular function. Sulfate is present in mucus secreted by epithelial goblet cells and is often found with potassium as a component of connective tissue.

• Immunity: Sulfate is a component of the mucus secreted as a protective agent by epithelial goblet cells found in the digestive and respiratory system.
• Connective tissue: Sulfate is a structural component of many glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, glycolipids and glycoproteins and as such, is a stabiliser of connective tissue, contributing to its strength, elasticity and hydration. The polysaccharides associated with glycoproteins and glycolipids on the cell surface are often associated with potassium
• Energy production: The production and storage of energy in the body depends on the availability of both magnesium and phosphate . Phosphate is incorporated into compounds such as ATP and cyclic AMP. Magnesium combines with and stabilises the ATP molecule, and the resultant Mg-ATP complex (rather than ATP alone), is the substrate for most ATP-requiring enzymes.
• Neuromuscular function: Magnesium has inhibitory and stabilising effects on neurons at the neuromuscular junction, and plays an influencing role in the release of neurotransmitters.
