As someone taking magnesium, now I suddenly need to check my bottle.

Swisse magnesium in Australia has Magnesium (?Carbonate?) and nothing else. The same formulation in Hong Kong, has B in it.

So, be careful about assuming one economies variant of a pill is the same as another. Same container, same branding.

I switched fish oil which has no added Vitamin D or E, struggled to find melatonin and magnesium without B6 and other crap. Thankfully my multivitamin contains 2.4 mg B6 which they defined as male RDA.
If you need to take melatonin for sleep issues, B6 is actually good for that. The body needs B6 to make melatonin.
