Magnesium sulphate, commonly known as Epsom salt, is a mineral salt. It is a micronutrient. It has anti-inflammatory and laxative properties. Magnesium sulphate replaces magnesium in patients with magnesium deficiency and at site of edema in case of injuries. It decreases nerve impulses to heart muscles. In the intestine magnesium sulphate helps to retain water inside the colon, increasing the mobility and helps in evacuation of bowel.
- Magnesium Sulphate is used to correct the magnesium levels in patients with low magnesium levels in the body when the patient is not able to tolerate oral supplements. It is also used for the prevention and control of seizures associated with pre-eclampsia andeclampsia
- Magnesium sulfate is used as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation.
- Difficulty in breathing
- Swelling of eyelids, face, lips
- Itching and rash
- Dizziness and Drowsiness
- Pain at the injection site
- Muscle weakness
- Excessive thirst
- Slurred speech
- Using too much magnesium sulfate can cause serious, life-threatening side effects.
- Do not use magnesium sulfate as a laxative without medical advice if you have: severe stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, a perforated bowel, a bowel obstruction, severe constipation, colitis, toxic megacolon, or a sudden change in bowel habits that has lasted 2 weeks or longer.
- Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking magnesium sulfate.
- If you have rectal bleeding or if you do not have a bowel movement after using magnesium sulfate as a laxative, stop using the medication and call your doctor at once.
- Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. ZnO is a white powder that is insoluble in water.
- Zinc (Topical) is a mild antiseptic with skin soothing properties.It works by forming a barrier on the skin to protect it from irritants/moisture
- Zinc oxide topical (for the skin) is used to treat diaper rash, minor burns, severely chapped skin, or other minor skin irritations.
- Zinc oxide rectal suppositories are used to treat itching, burning, irritation, and other rectal discomfort caused by hemorrhoids or painful bowel movement

Amino acid benefits are simple to name because, without amino acids, we cannot
exist. Every anatomical and physiological feature of a living organism is made
possible through the existence of amino acids.
The nine essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine,
phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
Isoleucine is one of three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). It helps to increase
the rate of protein synthesis and promotes muscle tissue formation.
Histidine is a precursor to various hormones and metabolites important
to kidney function, gastric secretion, the immune system, and neurotransmission. It
helps to produce red blood cells and hemoglobin.
Lysine has an important part to play in cell division and growth as it is a major
building block of growth factors.
Methionine contains the element sulfur which is essential
to cartilage and liver health and ameliorates hair structure and nail strength.
Phenylalanine is a precursor of tyrosine hydroxylase, an enzyme that speeds up
catecholamine synthesis and so affects mood.
Threonine increases the uptake of other amino acids such as phenylalanine but also
contributes to neurotransmitter balance in the brain, muscle tissue production, and
immune system function.
Tryptophan is a precursor molecule of niacin (vitamin B3), melatonin and serotonin
and thus essential for sleep and mood.
Folic acid deficiency
Chills,
Fever,
Flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk)
Increased sweating
Metabolic disorder
Vomiting
Liver damage
Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. As a result, they must come from
food.
Take extra caution in patients with the following medical conditions:
Severe acidosis
Congestive heart failure
Minerals help our bodies develop and function. They are essential for good health.
Knowing about different minerals and what they do can help you to make sure you
get enough of the minerals that you need.
Minerals support a wide variety of bodily functions, ranging from building and
maintaining healthy bones and teeth to keeping your muscles, heart and brain
working properly.
There are five main categories of mineral deficiency: calcium, iron, magnesium,
potassium, and zinc.
Minerals are specific kinds of nutrients that your body needs in order to function
properly. A mineral deficiency occurs when your body doesn’t obtain or absorb the
required amount of a mineral.
Mineral deficiencies can lead to a variety of health problems, such as weak bones,
fatigue, or a decreased immune system.
The daily intake of minerals should be reviewed to prevent adverse effects. Excess
calcium may lead to constipation and kidney problems. Too much zinc may lead to
diarrhea , vomiting , and kidney and heart problems.
