Magnesium, potassium and vitamin B6 – is it worth taking them together?

Deficiencies of many vitamins and minerals are rarely noticed by those affected in the early stages. This is because the body often does not give clear signals that it is lacking something or that its reserves of certain nutrients are running low. It is only when serious deficiencies occur that we actually feel the lack of micro and macro elements important for the body, both physically and mentally.

Nutritional deficiencies lead to poor health

By downplaying healthy eating habits, pushing our bodies beyond their limits, and even failing to take proper care of ourselves during the holidays, we expose ourselves to serious deficiencies, and as a result, our health can quickly deteriorate.

Painful muscle cramps, eyelid twitching, heart palpitations, sleep problems

One of the most common oversights, which quickly makes itself felt, is not consuming enough electrolytes. This is particularly noticeable in the summer, during periods of increased physical activity and times of high stress. Muscle tremors, eyelid twitching, heart palpitations and sleep problems are just a few of the symptoms of electrolyte deficiencies that are important for the body.

Magnesium, potassium and vitamin B6

One of the most popular vitamin and mineral complexes, which for years has been dedicated to people at risk of electrolyte deficiencies, is a combination of magnesium, potassium and vitamin B6.

This well-known and widely used complex supports both the nervous and muscular systems. That is why the SFD brand has created a supplement based on magnesium and potassium citrate. This form of minerals ensures their very good absorption and a high percentage of assimilation. The preparation has also been enriched with vitamin B6, which supports the absorption of magnesium and has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.

Complementary combination

The combination of these three compounds creates an ideal complementary combination that has a beneficial effect on both the nervous and muscular systems. However, we are not only talking about skeletal muscles, but also our heart. This preparation is ideal not only for people who exercise, but also for anyone who is at risk of electrolyte loss.

Situations of greatest risk

Despite a healthy and balanced diet, a single day of dehydration caused by, for example, alcohol consumption, an exhausting bike ride, or working in high temperatures can cause unpleasant consequences after just one day in the form of painful cramps, fatigue, or muscle twitching. We lose magnesium and potassium intensively through sweat and urine, and as we know, high temperatures, physical activity or excessive consumption of diuretics such as energy drinks or coffee can contribute to deficiencies.

Therefore, if you are planning an active holiday, exercise regularly, or your everyday life consists of a coffee pot and a basket of stress, it is worth considering supplementation with a comprehensive preparation that will quickly replenish magnesium and potassium deficiencies. This preparation is ideal as part of regular supplementation and as an emergency measure that will ‘save’ us during an overly intense weekend.
