Magnesium and vitamin B6: zoom on this essential duo
The benefits of magnesium for our body are well established, especially if you regularly read our blog!
Indeed, we have devoted several articles to this precious mineral, and for good reason: it is one of the 10 most important elements existing in nature.
Today, thanks to research and numerous scientific studies on the subject, magnesium has seen its importance recognized. On the other hand, the discovery of the importance of its association with vitamin B6 is less known and more recent.
In this article, we will discover why the magnesium and vitamin B6 duo is a winning combo and what are the benefits of their combination.
Magnesium, essential for our body
Let's take a step back, quickly listing the main benefits of magnesium . It will suffice to remember that this mineral is involved in no less than 300 fundamental biochemical processes in our body.
Without these, we could not live well and even, we could not live at all!
Here are the most important functions of magnesium:
- It regulates the absorption of sodium, potassium and calcium in tissues. As a result, it helps maintain bone and joint tissues;
- It promotes the exchange of information in the central and peripheral nervous system;
- It contributes to muscular performance and ensures relaxation;
- It regulates heart rate;
- It controls blood clotting;
- It is essential in the metabolism of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates, ensuring a correct daily energy intake.
It's no surprise that a lack of magnesium is responsible for a variety of symptoms that can affect our physical and mental fitness.
Magnesium and vitamin B6: essential duo for an effective cure
Why are the properties of magnesium optimized when combined with vitamin B6 ?
The answer is simple: vitamin B6 facilitates and increases the absorption of magnesium in the body, preventing the loss of the ingested mineral.
In addition, it creates a valuable synergy with its properties. Let's go in order, explaining some particularities about magnesium.
Our body is not capable of producing magnesium: we can therefore only obtain it through food or specific supplements . In addition, our body cannot make reserves of this essential mineral: therefore, everything we absorb through food is immediately consumed. To be able to retain the quantities necessary for our body, we must necessarily ingest it every day.
And did you know that only a third of the magnesium assimilated through food is then used in the processes that require it? The remaining part, more than 60%, is eliminated by our body, through stools, urine and sweat. To compensate for this limited absorption capacity , there are types of magnesium that are more easily assimilated than others.
Yes, because not all forms of magnesium are equal: you will find all the details in our dedicated article, by following the link above. As we mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph, the combination of vitamin B6 and magnesium facilitates the gastric absorption of the mineral and ensures its supply to the different parts of the body.
Vitamin B6 also supports the immune system and works with magnesium to improve the performance of our brain, by acting on the central nervous system. Thus, these two companions play a key role in our brain activity, our energy , our mood and mental efficiency .

Magnesium Bisglycinate
Synergistic formula based on 3rd generation magnesium bisglycinate.
- ✅ High absorption magnesium
- ✅ 300 mg of magnesium per dose
- ✅ With Taurine and Vitamin B6
- ✅ Made in France
What are the benefits of magnesium and vitamin B6 combined?
The synergy of magnesium and vitamin B6 is indicated to support the immune system and avoid fatigue and more broadly support our body.
Vitamin B6 regulates psychic, muscular and spasmodic balance, allowing the assimilation and transformation of food into energy.
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological functions. As for vitamin B6, it participates in the synthesis of serotonin, the happiness hormone, which is in turn a precursor of melatonin, the sleep hormone , in addition to contributing to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
And here is a virtuous circle that will help us easily fall into the arms of Morpheus! But what is the best formula of magnesium and vitamin B6 , the most likely to promote optimal absorption in our body?
Magnesium Bisglycinate, vitamin B6 and taurine: our complete formula
Although we always talk about magnesium in a generic way, its effectiveness varies depending on the molecules to which it is bound, as this influences its absorption and bioavailability.
To answer the question how to choose the right magnesium , we have dedicated a paragraph in our complete guide to magnesium.
In summary, magnesium bisglycinate is one of the best forms of magnesium, offering considerable benefits to the body:
- It allows optimal intestinal absorption of the mineral;
- It allows greater bioavailability ;
- It competes less with the absorption of other minerals, such as calcium;
- It reduces intestinal disorders linked to water storage, thus protecting against the risk of accelerated transit;
- Binding with glycine protects magnesium from binding with phosphates, phytates and tannins, which reduce its absorption.
Our formula is based on the combination of magnesium bisglycinate and two powerful active ingredients: vitamin B6 and taurine , for a 100% effective cure. These three micronutrients act in synergy, allowing the body to better respond to stress, maintaining its concentration levels and memory capacity.
Taurine is one of the amino acids in our body, present almost everywhere, especially in muscles and nerves. Among its many properties , its stimulating effect helps improve our physical and mental performance and makes us feel more toned.
You will have understood: magnesium and vitamin B6 , never one without the other! Their association with taurine is what you need to find well-being and recharge your batteries.
