Pharmacodynamics
The body needs mineral salts because they help maintain the functioning of cells. Schuessler's theory states that due to regulatory disturbances in cellular activity, various ailments and pathologies develop. The use of mineral salts for treatment leads to the restoration of cellular functions and stabilizes the balance of matter within the body.
The sodium phosphate component is located inside brain cells, as well as inside muscles with nerves, connective tissues and red blood cells. The substance helps to stabilize the pH balance level. In addition, it promotes metabolic processes inside the body and helps in case of increased acidity.
