Combined drug that replenishes magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium is a vital element that is found in all tissues of the body and is necessary for the normal functioning of cells, participates in many metabolic reactions. Magnesium ions reduce the excitability of neurons, play an important physiological role in maintaining the ion balance in muscles (slow down the neuromuscular transmission), participate in many enzymatic reactions.
The lack of magnesium in the body can be observed with a violation of diet (diet) or with increasing demand for magnesium (with increased physical and mental stress, stress, pregnancy, the use of diuretics).
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a coenzyme of the metabolism of amino acids and proteins, is involved in the regulation of the metabolism of the nervous system. Phosphorylated and in the form of pyridoxal phosphate is part of the enzymes that catalyze decarboxylation and reamination. It plays an important role in the metabolism of tryptophan, glutamic acid, cysteine, methionine, and also in the transport of amino acids through the cell membrane. It is necessary for the activation of phosphorylase, for the formation of neurotransmitters, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glycine, serotonin. Participates in the exchange of vitamin B12, folic acid, in the synthesis of porphyrins, in the exchange of unsaturated fatty acids. Improves the absorption of magnesium from the gastrointestinal tract and its penetration into the cells. Magnesium content in serum:
- from 12 to 17 mg / l (0.5-0.7 mmol / l) indicates a moderate magnesium deficiency;
- below 12 mg / l (0.5 mmol / l) indicates a severe magnesium deficiency.
