Pharmacodynamics
The properties of Magvit B6 are explained by the action of the active components of the medication. Thus, magnesium actively participates in metabolic reactions of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, as well as in oxidation and reduction processes. Thanks to magnesium, the production of enzymes is stimulated, the contractile capacity of the heart muscle is improved, the composition of fibrinogen and the quality of platelets are normalized.
It has been proved that magnesium deficiency is one of the triggers for the development of hypertension, spasm of the vascular walls, and the formation of kidney stones. Without this element it is difficult to imagine the normal course of neuromuscular reactions.
What role does pyridoxine play? Vitamin actively participates in amino acid metabolism, without it activation of phosphorylase, formation of serotonin and glycine is impossible. Vitamin B6 helps to function myocardium, especially in a state of hypoxia.
Among other things, pyridoxine improves the absorption of magnesium and its entry into cellular structures.
