Description
Food supplement of magnesium, zinc and copper with alpha-lipoic acid, devil's claw, California poppy, restharrow and feverfew; indicated to provide an additional supply of these nutrients in case of deficiency or increased need. The nutritional components present in the product can contribute to: normal muscle function (magnesium); maintenance of normal connective tissue (copper); protection of cells from oxidative stress (copper and zinc). Plant extracts can: promote joint function (devil's claw and feverfew); counteract localized states of tension (feverfew); promote a state of relaxation (california poppy) and promote drainage of body fluids (restharrow).

Property
-Ononis spinosa (es): the roots and rhizomes of this plant are used; it has a spasmolytic and muscle-relaxing action on smooth muscles, also promoting a mild diuretic action.
-Eschscholzia (es): the aerial parts of this plant are rich in protopine which has an analgesic and muscle-relaxing action and is especially indicated in the case of conditions characterised by muscle spasms.
-Devil's claw (es): in addition to the well-known anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic action of the phytocomplex, devil's claw is also able to exert an analgesic and hypouricemia action, therefore it translates into a useful adjuvant in the treatment of gouty conditions.
-Feverfew (es): the aerial parts (flowers and leaves) of this plant belonging to the Compositae family are rich in sesquiterpene lactonics, of which parthenolide is the major representative. Feverfew determines an analgesic and anti-inflammatory action and, as regards the mechanism of action, an inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins has been demonstrated which seems to be mediated by an inhibitory effect on phospholipase. The anti-inflammatory action of parthenolide would also be contributed by an inhibitory effect on both the enzyme 5-lipo-oxygenase and on the activation of the inducible forms of the enzymes cyclo-oxygenase and nitroxide synthase.
-Alpha-lipoic acid: from a metabolic point of view it acts as a cofactor for numerous enzymes that participate in the glucose conversion process, but some of its structural characteristics make it extraordinarily effective as an antioxidant and therefore indispensable for counteracting the damage associated with the formation of free radicals. In this specific case it acts by improving the speed of nervous communication and exerts a normalizing action on nervous sensitivity, thus reducing both pain and sensory torpidity.
-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 use of vitamins and in the constitution of most enzymes with metabolic action. For this reason it is absolutely fundamental for the good functionality of the muscles.
-Magnesium: presides over the mechanisms of ionic transport, allows muscle contraction and the function of cellular ionic pumps. It plays a fundamental role in the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, participates in the synthesis of ATP and stabilizes it in the cytoplasm. For these many reasons it is essential for the physiological functioning of both voluntary and non-voluntary muscles.
-Copper: it is an essential element for the human species. In various tissues it acts mainly as a cofactor of numerous enzymes which are in turn involved in various physiological functions and is also contained in some proteins. Its action is important for the mineralization of the skeleton and for the formation of new red blood cells and connective tissue.
