Magne B6 Forte (100mg magnesium + 10 mg B6), 60 tablets
Magnesium is a cation necessary for the proper functioning of many biochemical processes in the body. Its biological role is to activate a number of enzymes. Magnesium plays an important role in the process of heart muscle contraction and influences the state of neuromuscular excitability. Magnesium is only partially absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, mainly in the small intestine, and the degree of absorption depends on its content in food. Magnesium deficiency may cause disorders in the muscular system and central nervous system. Vitamin B6 increases the absorption of magnesium from the gastrointestinal tract by 20-40%.
