Magnesium is the “zen” molecule. It is a mineral essential to the body's proper functioning. Its main property is its action on the nervous system, but it has many other benefits, notably for muscles, the heart, bones and the immune system. It is particularly recommended for people suffering from stress or deficiency¹. Involved in numerous metabolic reactions and the transmission of nerve signals, magnesium is essential for maintaining a regular heartbeat, lipid metabolism, as well as regulating blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Magnesium also helps prevent cardiovascular disease, migraines, diabetes, severe asthma, difficulty sleeping, premenstrual pain and pre-eclampsia^2-4. Caused by a diet low in magnesium, stress, consumption of energy drinks and long-term use of certain medications (diuretics, certain antibiotics, immunosuppressants, oral contraceptives, estrogens and certain anti-cancer drugs), magnesium deficiency is difficult to diagnose³. validated by clinical trials, taking magnesium as a dietary supplement is recognized in the treatment of a number of disorders, including cardiovascular disease, migraines, diabetes, severe asthma, premenstrual syndrome and pre-eclampsia³.

A daily intake of vitamin B6 is essential, as the body can neither produce nor accumulate this vitamin. It plays a role in the synthesis of certain antibodies and hemoglobin, and in maintaining mental equilibrium. It contributes to the proper absorption of vitamin B12 and the assimilation of magnesium by the body. According to the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), more than half of all pregnant women suffer from nausea and vomiting. The origin of this discomfort is not clearly defined, but a serious clue, concerning vitamin B6 levels in the blood, seems to correlate with the onset and severity of the disorders³. The antiemetic effect of vitamin B6 has been known since 1942. Its effectiveness in preventing nausea during pregnancy has since been confirmed by numerous clinical trials^5-9.
