Potassium and magnesium contribute to normal muscle function, and magnesium also supports electrolyte balance, contributes to normal energy metabolism and reduces tiredness and fatigue. Alkamox is also particularly useful for people who do intense sporting activities, since it not only provides an adequate amount of easily digestible potassium and magnesium, but it provides them in alkaline form through the citrate. The alkaline nature of Alkamox also makes it useful to supplement a diet poor in alkaline valences, or to compensate for a diet with high intake of animal or fat proteins, which cause excessive acidity in the body.
