It also contributes to cell development related to sight, mucous membranes, epithelia, skin, nails, hair and tooth enamel. In addition, it is involved in the homeostasis of glucose and lipids.

Vitamin B6 - or pyridoxine - favors the formation of red blood cells, blood cells and hormones. Intervenes in the synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and collaborates in the maintenance of the nervous and immune systems, participating indirectly in the production of antibodies.

The presence of magnesium favors the strengthening of the bone system and the dentition, and is very convenient for the cardiovascular system. Helps maintain a stable heart rate and blood pressure, protecting the walls of blood vessels and acting as a vasodilator, thus preventing the formation of clots. It also increases the production of white blood cells for the benefit of the immune system.
