Who is magnesium with B6 suitable for, and in which situations is it most often chosen?

Magnesium is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle function and cellular energy metabolism. Vitamin B6 complements its action: the body needs it for metabolic processes, the formation of red blood cells and processes related to the nervous system. This kind of supplement is most often considered during periods when the need for these nutrients increases or the diet does not fully cover it.

• Athletes and active people — during intense training and heavy physical exertion the body uses up magnesium faster.
• Students and office workers — during prolonged mental work and a busy schedule.
• People whose diet is low in wholegrains, nuts and seeds — these are the main dietary sources of magnesium, and in real-life eating habits they are often in short supply.

The capsule form is convenient because it fits easily into a usual vitamin routine. The supplement is not a substitute for a balanced diet and is not intended to treat or prevent disease. If you have a chronic condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medicines, it is worth consulting a specialist before you start taking it.
