EffectAs an enzyme activator, magnesium fulfills numerous metabolic functions in human cells. It is essential for the function of the heart muscle, the nervous system, the smooth vascular muscles, and the skeletal muscles. Magnesium deficiency increases the risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack, and cardiac arrhythmias. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include, among others, hyperactivity, concentration difficulties, increased susceptibility to stress, and dysfunctions of the skeletal muscles (muscle cramps, tetany).
Vitamin B6 increases magnesium absorption from the gastrointestinal tract by 20 to 40%, facilitates the transport of this element into the cells, and ensures an optimal intracellular concentration. It also reduces the excretion of magnesium via urine. Magnesium preparations with vitamin B6 are more effective than pure magnesium. Vitamin B6 is involved in protein metabolism (as a coenzyme in amino acid metabolism and in protein synthesis). A deficiency can lead to skin inflammation on the extremities, mucous membrane inflammation, anemia, neurological disorders, and general weakness.
IndicationsKnown magnesium and/or vitamin B6 deficiency.
