Magnesium with vitamin B6: what the combination is for

Magnesium and vitamin B6 are one of nutrition’s classic duos. It is no coincidence: they work in the same processes in your body. We explain what each one provides and why they work so well together.

Two nutrients, the same processes

Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems, from energy production to nerve transmission. Vitamin B6, in its active form (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate), is a coenzyme in more than a hundred reactions, many of them in amino acid metabolism.

The two overlap in three major areas: energy, the nervous system and psychological function.

Glycine + Mg²⁺ + Glycine OCCH₂NH₂O Glycine OCCH₂NH₂O Glycine Mg²⁺
Magnesium bisglycinate: a magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) chelated by two glycine molecules, which bind to it through their amino group (N) and their carboxyl group (O).
