Magnesium is found in many foods, with whole grains, nuts, seeds, and leafy greens like spinach being especially abundant sources. Meat, dairy, and mineral water also contain fairly high amounts of this essential mineral.

Research suggests that many Americans do not get enough magnesium in their diets. Factors that can contribute to low magnesium levels include taking diuretics (water pills), having diabetes, or experiencing conditions that affect nutrient absorption, such as celiac disease. Low magnesium can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, and can worsen existing health issues like diabetes and cardiovascular conditions.*

Supplemental magnesium can provide several benefits, including promoting energy production, supporting optimal muscle and bone health, and helping maintain heart and lung function. It can also support carbohydrate metabolism and help decrease lactic acid accumulation during exertion, providing relief for muscle soreness and fatigue.

The recommended daily intake of magnesium varies by age and sex, with 350 milligrams (mg) being a good average target. Obtaining this amount through diet is ideal, as consuming more than 350 mg of supplemental magnesium can lead to loose stools and diarrhea.

While generally well-tolerated, magnesium supplements can potentially interact with certain medications, such as decreasing the absorption of some heart medicines, osteoporosis drugs, antibiotics, and blood-thinning medications. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking a magnesium supplement, especially if pregnant or with any existing health conditions.
