Description
Sowelo’s MAG-B6 is one of the essential micronutrients. Magnesium is called the element of life because it participates in 300 biochemical processes in the body. It is a building material for teeth and bones and is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. We can find magnesium in grains, buckwheat, legumes, nuts, seafood, cocoa, and chocolate.
Magnesium optimizes the functions of the nervous system and improves brain function. It participates in the metabolism of macronutrients, thus ensuring the supply of energy to the body. Magnesium reduces overstimulation of nerve cells, acting on the body in a calming manner. It improves memory processes and logical thinking. Individuals exposed to stress, athletes, those suffering from chronic diseases, and elderly people are at risk of magnesium deficiency. Pregnant women, alcohol abusers, those on weight-loss diets, and individuals with diarrhea and vomiting have a higher demand for magnesium.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency may include:
- Calf muscle cramps
- Eyelid tremors
- Painful menstrual periods
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Migraine
- Apathy
- Lack of concentration and memory difficulties
Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is one of the B vitamins. It is essential for the functioning of over 100 enzymes. Vitamin B6 plays a significant role in human body function. It affects glucose metabolism into glycogen, participates in hemoglobin production, and is responsible for the proper functioning of the nervous system. It participates in antibody production, boosting the body’s immunity. If the level of vitamin B6 in the body is too low, it may cause symptoms such as anemia, decreased immunity, sleep disturbances, concentration problems, tingling, tremors, or numbness in the limbs, and skin changes – redness, peeling, dandruff, and hair loss. Vitamin B6 significantly increases the absorption of magnesium from the gastrointestinal tract.
The demand for magnesium and vitamin B6 is elevated in today’s world, and overdosing on these substances is difficult because they are water-soluble and easily excreted from the body. Vitamin B6 increases the absorption of magnesium from the gastrointestinal tract and limits its excretion by the kidneys.
