In the modern fast-paced lifestyle, more that often we are living in a hectic buzz lifestyle. Regardless of whether we are living in the cities, urban or rural zone, more than often most of us are wearing multiple hats at any given period. On one hand, technology has given us the ability to be connected all time. However, the ease of getting things done also mean increasing expectations, speed of responses and desires at the tip of finger that lead to more stress on the mind and body.
Chronic stress—such as pandemic or economic worries—can wreak havoc on our health. Research shows that stress impacts our mood, sleep, energy levels and mental well-being and leading to impact on our ability to concentrate, insomnia, migraines and anxiety.
The good news is that there are plenty of simple lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, regular exercise, and meditation that we can make to help us to manage our stress levels.
However, chronic stress can depletes the body of magnesium and low magnesium levels intensify stress — creating a vicious cycle. Deficiency of magnesium can cause fatigue, muscle spasms and cramps which in turn could affect your immune system.
Thus, it is important to ensure the body gets the sufficient amount of magnesium.
Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It plays an important role in energy utilization, muscle functions, contractions and relaxation including heart muscle, protein synthesization, transmitting nerve signals and many more processes that are vital for human health.
It is required for the formation of healthy bones and teeth, tissue formation, and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fat. However, we do not get enough magnesium through our diets, making supplementation an ever important source.
Kordel’s Magnesium Bisglycinate 200mg soothes muscle cramps and supports restful sleeps. It is a more superior form due to its molecular structure of one magnesium bonded with two glycine molecules, leading it to become better absorbed. It does not require stomach acidity to be absorbed, which means that even individuals with poor digestion or absorption issues can experience the nutritional benefits of magnesium. It is also gentle on the stomach and does not cause diarrhea.
It is a convenient option for anyone whose diet is high in processed foods, adults who have poor digestion, people looking to improve bone density, and those experiencing signs of magnesium deficiency, such as headaches, premenstrual discomforts, muscle cramping, or twitchy eyelids. Each vegetal capsule can be taken once daily, making it a convenient option for anyone to manage stress, improve mood, enhance sleep and keeping our body healthy.
For a better mental sharpness and concentration, it can be taken together with Kordel’s Sharp•PSTM Sharp Memory.
Kordel’s Magnesium Bisglycinate 200mg is suitable for vegetarians.

Wound dressing is an essential element of wound healing. At Convatec, we develop and produce advanced wound care solutions for the management of hard-to-heal wounds, and prevention of wound occurrence.
Aquacel® launched nearly 20 years ago with a breakthrough technology — Hydrofiber™. Since then, we’ve never stopped innovating.
Today, the Aquacel® family includes a wide range of wound dressings — including Aquacel® Extra, Aquacel® AG+ Extra, Aquacel® Foam, Aquacel® Surgical and Aquace;® Burn.
Our AQUACEL Ag dressings are the #1 anti-microbial dressings today, combining the infection-fighting power of ionic silver with the unique capabilities of Hydrofiber™.
Aquacel Ag+ Extra
AQUACEL® Ag+ dressings are antimicrobial primary dressings intended to be used under the direction of a healthcare professional for wounds, which are at risk of infection or show signs of infection, or where biofilm is suspected to be present, and in accordance with the indications for use.
They are designed to manage the 3 key local barriers to healing - exudate, infection and biofilm. AQUACEL® Ag+ dressings incorporate proven Hydrofiber™ Technology and Ag+ Technology - a unique ionic silver-containing, antibiofilm formulation.1 AQUACEL® Ag+ dressings are available as AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ and AQUACEL® Ag+ Ribbon dressings.
AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ dressing is comprised of 2 layers of Hydrofiber™ Technology stitch bonded together making it 9x stronger and 50% more absorbent than standard AQUACEL® Ag dressing.2*
AQUACEL® Ag+ Ribbon dressing is also strengthened with stitchbonding.
*As demonstrated in-vitro
AQUACEL® Foam
AQUACEL® Foam dressing has a soft absorbent Foam pad, an AQUACEL® interface, a gentle silicone adhesive, and a waterproof/bacteria barrier. AQUACEL® Foam dressing is the only Foam that has comfort, simplicity and the healing benefits of an AQUACEL® Interface.
Only Aquacel® Foam dressing has been designed to work In synergy with the Aquacel® family of primary dressings, to achieve optimal performance.
The use of this dressing regime can help optimise:
• Effective management of exudate1,2
• Help prevent peri-wound maceration6
• Protect peri-wound skin6
• Promote wound healing7
• Manage biofilm and infections4,5
This may improve patient comfort and clinical outcome3
