THE MOST VERSATILE MINERAL OF OUR TIME What is Magnesium+B6? Magnesium participates in numerous biochemical processes in the body. It is required for the activity of more than 300 different enzymes, especially those involved in energy production. It is important for neuromuscular transmission of stimuli and bone mineralization. It is essential for the proper functioning of the muscular system. It helps in the creation of energy, in the processes of blood clotting and the transport of glucose in the cells. As an "anti-stress mineral" it helps the nervous system work properly. Due to its basic properties, it neutralizes stomach acid. Vitamin B6 plays an important role in processes of breakdown and absorption of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, normal functioning of the nervous and immune system and plays an important role in the creation of hemoglobin in red blood cells. It increases the absorption of magnesium in the gastro-intestinal tract. Action of MAGNESIUM+B6 Magnesium participates in the regulation of muscle contraction. With its deficiency, cramps occur in the muscles of the lower leg. Most often, women, athletes and the elderly suffer from muscle cramps. Spasms occur suddenly, usually during sleep. In people who do recreational sports, cramps may occur during training, if they lose a large amount of fluids through sweating. The most important muscle whose function depends on magnesium intake is the heart, helping to control the neuromuscular reflex activity of the heart. Magnesium also reduces abnormal blood clotting in the heart, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. It has a key role in maintaining the normal function of the nervous system and psychological function. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of fatigue and exhaustion. Magnesium has a significant contribution to the strengthening of bones and teeth, participating in their mineralization. It participates in fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis and glucose metabolism. Magnesium status is also important in regulating calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland. The body cannot create magnesium, so sufficient amounts should be taken in order to avoid magnesium deficiency. An unbalanced diet, various weight loss diets and inappropriately processed foods can cause magnesium deficiency. Signs of deficiency may include rapid fatigue, muscle spasms in the leaves, impaired muscle function, depression and apathy. The needs of our body for magnesium are from 350 to 800 mg per day, depending on age, gender and diet. Increased needs for magnesium can occur during: Increased psychological stress (stress, anxiety) Increased physical effort (athletes) Frequent use of laxatives During pregnancy and lactation Children in rapid growth and adolescents
