Magnesium + B6, 60 tab. 300 mg

Magnesium is a vital element that is found in all tissues of the body and is necessary for normal cell function and is involved in most metabolic reactions. In particular, it is involved in the regulation of nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction. The body gets magnesium with food. Magnesium deficiency in the body may be observed when the diet is disturbed (diet) or when the need for magnesium increases (with increased physical and mental exertion, stress, pregnancy, use of diuretics). Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is involved in many metabolic processes, in the regulation of metabolism of the nervous system. Vitamin B6 improves the absorption of magnesium from the gastrointestinal tract and its penetration into cells. Magnesium content in serum: – 12 to 17 mg/l (0.5 to 0.7 mmol/l) indicates moderate magnesium deficiency, – below 12 mg/l (0.5 mmol/l) indicates severe magnesium deficiency.
Pharmacokinetics
Magnesium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract is no more than 50% of the ingested dose. 99% of the body’s magnesium is inside the cells. Approximately 2/3 of intracellular magnesium is distributed in bone tissue, and the other 1/3 is in smooth and striated muscle tissue. Magnesium is excreted mainly in the urine. At least 1/3 of the magnesium dose taken is excreted in the urine.
Indications
Established magnesium deficiency, isolated or associated with other deficiency states, accompanied by symptoms such as: increased irritability, minor sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal cramps or palpitations, increased fatigue, muscle aches and spasms, tingling sensation.
