The Company offers a wide portfolio of highly efficacious and bioavailable supplements, produced with safe active ingredients, to improve health and well-being. The Company’s main product is a formulation of magnesium carbonate and citric acid whose characteristic is to be easily assimilated into the body, apart from the agreeable flavor.
