Classification Code of Magnesium gluconate (CAS NO.3632-91-5): Drug / Therapeutic Agent

In Ukraine, Magnesium gluconate, together with potassium gluconate in the drug "Rhythmocor" is used to treat heart disease. Pilot studies have shown efficacy in various cardiac arrhythmia. There is no single explanation, whether these effects with the influence of gluconic acid on the metabolism of the heart, or the influence of magnesium and potassium do not. There is evidence that magnesium gluconate improves physical performance. This is possible due to the fact that structural gluconic acid is a component of pangamic acid, previously widely used in sports.
