A member asked:
My magnesium level is 1.9 and the range was 1.8 to 2.9. so it's wnl but low. and i have been taking mag supplements x2 weeks now and it was 1.9. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not long enough: A magnesium level of 1, 9 is normal. Magnesium is not easily absorbed and you will need to be taking supplement longer to increase level. If you are having no problems, I do not see any medical reason to increase you magnesium intake.
