Magnefar B6 Forte – description and operation
Magnefar Magnefar B6 Forte contains magnesium ions and pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6).
Magnesium is a cation that is essential for the proper course of many biochemical processes in the body. Its biological role is to activate a number of enzymes. It plays an important role in the process of cardiac muscle contraction and affects the state of neuromuscular excitability.
Magnesium is only partially absorbed from the digestive tract, mainly in the small intestine, with the degree of absorption depending on the content in food. Magnesium deficiency can cause disorders of the muscular system and the central nervous system.
Magnefar Magnefar B6 Forte is recommended for the treatment and prevention of magnesium deficiency.

- nervousness, irritability, mood swings, mild anxiety, restlessness, transient fatigue, drowsiness, mild sleep disturbances;
- symptoms of anxiety, such as gastrointestinal cramps or heart palpitations (without heart disorders);
- muscle spasms, tingling, eyelid twitching.
Magnesium supplementation can alleviate the above symptoms of deficiency. If there is no improvement after a month of taking Magnefar B6 Forte, continuing treatment is not recommended.
