📊 How it ranks (our editor score) — 65/100Tap to see the breakdown
🌱 What it is
Magnesium is a mineral involved in hundreds of body processes, from muscle relaxation to energy production, and many people fall short of getting enough from food alone.
✨ Why it's good for you
- Supports relaxed blood vessels and circulation
- May ease anxious tension
- Supports airway and muscle relaxation
- May support energy levels when deficient
🥄 How to use it
Eat magnesium-rich foods such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and bananas daily, and consider a supplement (magnesium glycinate or citrate are gentle forms) if food intake is low.
How much: Typically 200-400 mg daily as a supplement, or as directed on the product label; food sources first.
Why it works: Magnesium deficiency can contribute to small blood vessels constricting, muscle and nerve over-excitability, and airway tightness; restoring adequate levels may help ease symptoms tied to these mechanisms.
⚠️ Cautions
- High-dose supplements can cause diarrhea or stomach upset.
- People with kidney disease should consult a doctor before supplementing, as the kidneys clear excess magnesium. Magnesium can also reduce the absorption of certain antibiotics (such as tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones) and some other medications -- space doses at least 2 hours apart and check with a pharmacist or doctor.
