A member asked:

Im 58 years old and i have high blood pressure, i take 500mg of magnesium every night. is it too much for me or its ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mag: Did you get your mag checked? If you have normal kidney function you should be able to excrete the mag. There may be no benefit to talking mag unless your levels are low.
