Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, supports electrolyte balance, the nervous system, normal muscle function, normal psychological function and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. B6 (pyridoxine) contributes the regulation of hormonal activity, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the energy-yielding metabolism, to normal psychological function and the functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to normal homocysteine metabolism and red blood cell formation.

Magnesium and vitamin B6 are involved in extensive interactions within the body as they work together in many enzyme systems.
Potential applications: Pre-menstrual tension, kidney stones, depression, hypertension, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), neuromuscular/ skeletal disorders, migraine, nausea in pregnancy, hyperhomocysteinemia, osteoporosis, neuropathy, asthma (B6 is needed for tryptophan > serotonin metabolism – known to be disordered in asthmatics).
Known contraindications: Those with kidney or heart disease should consult their physician before using magnesium supplements. Pregnant and breast-feeding women should not take more than 100 mg of vitamin B6 per day without a doctor’s supervision.
Interactions: Caution is required in those taking cardio-active medications such as diuretics, digitalis, and ACE inhibiting (BP lowering) drugs.
Useful links: PMS – Hemp seed oil, multi-phytonutrient complex, artichoke.
Aerobic exercise and stress management.
Note: Citrate forms of minerals are an organic presentation to ensure effective delivery utilisation in the body. Citrates are actual components of the krebs cycle. Evidence suggests that minerals chelated to krebs cycle intermediates are far better absorbed, utilised, and tolerated than inorganic mineral forms such as carbonates, oxides, and chlorides.
Directions: As a food supplement, take one to three capsules daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
