Can I take Magnesium and Vitamin b complex together?

Why this happens

Magnesium and B vitamins (especially Vitamin B6) have a synergistic relationship. Vitamin B6 helps the body absorb magnesium more efficiently into the cells where it is needed. They do not compete for absorption or interfere with how the other is processed by the liver or kidneys.

What you should do

It is safe to take these together. For the best absorption, you can take them with a meal. Always stick to the recommended daily dose on the packaging, as taking very high doses of magnesium can sometimes cause diarrhoea or stomach upset.
