- hawthorn extract: its biologically active substances - flavonoids and triterpene compounds - have an antispasmodic effect, selectively expand the vessels of the brain and heart, reduce the excitability of the central nervous system and myocardium;
- magnesium: is an antagonist of calcium ions, helps to improve the regulation of transmembrane exchange of potassium and sodium ions, reduces the ability to conduct excitation through neuromuscular synapses and to contract striated and smooth muscles; also has a neurosedative, anxiolytic and antispasmodic effect.
