Magnesium is one of the important macronutrients. This component is necessary for supplying many energy exchanges; it is involved in the plastic and energy processes of protein conversion in the body. Why is Magnerot prescribed? The medicine regulates the work of myocardial cells (the muscle of the middle layer of the heart), and also takes part in the regulation of its contractility.
Under stress, an increased amount of ionized magnesium is released (approximately half of the magnesium ions, like calcium, in the blood serum are in free form, the other half are in complex with proteins or in the form of various salts), and therefore an additional source of Mg helps to increase resistance to stress.
Structure
Magnerot contains orotic acid (a vitamin-like substance that affects metabolism and stimulates the growth of living organisms), which provides cell growth and also takes part in the metabolism. In addition, potassium orotate is necessary for fixing magnesium on adenosine triphosphoric acid (ATP) in the cell and the manifestation of its action.
The cost of the drug "Magnerot" varies from 220 to 580 rubles. It is dispensed in pharmacies in the form of tablets of 500 milligrams.

What is better "Magnerot" or "Magne B6"?
"Magne B 6 " is considered a direct analogue of "Magnerot", both drugs have a similar spectrum of action, but differ in structure.
The Magnerot preparation contains only magnesium compounds, and Magne B 6 , in addition to it, also contains vitamin B 6 (pyridoxine). Both medicines are designed to compensate for the deficiency of magnesium in the human body, especially when the lack of this element increases:
- in stressful situations;
- with physical and mental stress;
- during the period of bearing a child.
