Solgar Magnesium with Vitamin B6 is a dietary supplement in tablets. The daily dose of three tablets provides 400mg magnesium in oxide form, which corresponds to 107% of the Reference Dietary Allowances, and 25mg vitamin B6 as pyridoxine hydrochloride. The package contains 100 tablets.
It is aimed at adults who want full daily coverage in magnesium and prefer the classic combination with vitamin B6. It suits those who exercise and lose electrolytes through sweat, those who go through a period of intense fatigue, and those who follow a vegan diet, as the preparation does not contain ingredients of animal origin.
Vitamin B6 does not act as it is. Inside the organism it is converted into its active form, pyridoxal phosphate, which acts as a coenzyme in more than a hundred enzymatic reactions. Most of these concern the metabolism of amino acids, that is, the conversion of the structural units of proteins into whatever the body needs, from energy to neurotransmitters. Magnesium, on the other hand, is a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic systems and participates in every reaction that uses ATP, that is, the energy currency of the cell.
The two substances meet in common functions, the functioning of the nervous system, energy metabolism, psychological function, and fatigue reduction, which is why they are so often combined. Magnesium here is in oxide form, the form with the highest elemental magnesium content per gram of salt, which allows a full daily dose to fit into just three tablets.
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, the formula combines magnesium and vitamin B6 providing the benefits of both ingredients. The company states:
The above statements are attributed to the producer and refer to functions with authorized health claims under Regulation (EC) 1924/2006.
Both doses far exceed the limit of 15% of the Reference Dietary Allowances required to carry a nutrient claim on a product.
It suits adults who want to fully cover their daily magnesium intake with one preparation. It suits people with intense physical activity or periods of increased fatigue. It suits those who eat few leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grain products. It also suits vegans and vegetarians looking for a preparation without gluten, soy, and dairy.
The product is a dietary supplement and does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment. Persistent cramps, sleep disorders, or severe fatigue require evaluation by a doctor.

Three, preferably with meals. The amounts of 400mg magnesium and 25mg B6 refer to this dose of three tablets.
At the dose of three tablets per day, the 100 tablets last for about 33 days.
The 25mg corresponds to 1786% of the Dietary Reference Intakes because the daily need for B6 is very small. For the same reason, the producer warns against long-term intake.
Consult a doctor or pharmacist for prolonged intake, as long-term high intake of B6 is associated with tingling and numbness.
Here magnesium is in oxide form, an inorganic salt with a high content of elemental magnesium, and is combined with vitamin B6. The diglycinate is a chelated form bound to glycine and circulates as a preparation of one ingredient.
Yes. The composition does not contain ingredients of animal origin and the glycerin is vegetable.
Many take magnesium and calcium together, but both compete for the same absorption pathway in large doses. Ask your pharmacist for the best separation of intakes.
The guideline states three tablets daily with meals, without specifying whether they are taken together or divided throughout the day.
