Magnesium with B Vitamins

Magnesium is a vital mineral which regulates the nervous and muscular functions. 70% of magnesium in our body is bound in teeth and bones. The bones do not only need calcium but magnesium as well. 60% of magnesium is in our bones, 26% in muscles and the rest of it in tissues and body fluids. 75% of people consume this vital mineral in the quantity less than their daily need. Lack of magnesium causes energy deficit in cells: the main task of magnesium is to activate enzymes which are responsible for the occurrence of reactions in the body.

B vitamins are the most essential for brain: even the slightest deficit of B vitamins interferes with brain functions, affecting our thinking and emotions.

Vitamin B1 promotes normal energy exchange and supports the functioning of the nervous system. The main symptom of vitamin B1 deficit is fatigue. The amount of vitamin B1 in our body is reduced by diuretics, alcohol and sulphites (can be found in wine and dried fruit). Physically active people also have a greater need for vitamins.

Vitamin B2 promotes the normal functioning of energy exchange and helps to reduce fatigue and exhaustion. Lack of vitamin B2 causes lack of energy in rapidly multiplying cells (skin and mucous membranes). Vitamin B2 is needed for good vision and healthy skin and mucous membranes.

Vitamin B3 supports the functioning of the nervous system and the psychological functions. It also helps to keep mucous membranes and skin healthy. The symptoms of vitamin B3 deficit include insomnia, depression, anxiety and muscle weakness. Vitamin B3 participates in 50 chemical reactions, including the production of energy and hormones.

Vitamin B5 supports the synthesis and metabolism of vitamin D and certain neurotransmitters. It is also necessary for ensuring mental performance and energy exchange.

Vitamin B6 reduces fatigue and exhaustion. It is a critical vitamin for maintaining hormonal balance and the immune function. The stocks of vitamin B6 are mainly reduced by stress and anxiety.

Vitamin B7 (biotin) helps to keep hair, mucous membranes and skin healthy. It also supports psychological functions and the functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin B9 (folic acid) promotes the normal synthesis of amino acids, haematopoiesis, functioning of the immune system and helps to reduce fatigue.

Vitamin B12 supports the formation of red blood cells, energy exchange and the normal functioning of the immune system.
