Magnesium is fundamental for muscular function because it acts as a cofactor in many cellular enzymes. It works alongside calcium in muscular contraction/relaxation and clotting of the blood (calcium promotes while magnesium inhibits). The magnesium supplement becomes fundamental for athletes in general, but for stamina-oriented athletes in particular. They are the ones who lose greater quantities of Mg through perspiration and physical strain, which can lead to muscular cramping. The condition is elevated further by the loss of potassium and the rest of the mineral salts (electrolytes). The MgB6 capsules are infused with magnesium citrate, which has been demonstrated to produce the highest level of absorption and assimilation for the muscles*.

Vitamin B6 is involved in the metabolism of proteins and fatty acids. It constructs parts of various enzymes and it plays a role in the formation of hemoglobin and myoglobin, which raise aerobic endurance. The combined use with magnesium is vital because it simultaneously improves the body’s absorption and digestive assimilation on the cellular level. It also helps the body to prevent significant magnesium losses, which should be a major point of focus for any athlete.
