My husband magnesium is low @ 1.0 i have 250 mg pills that i take. how much do you recommend he take per day to get back to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1-2 pills: If his kidney functions are ok he can 250-500 mg magnesium. If he gets diarrhea cut the dosage why he has low magnesium ? Does he take water pills? Does he have muscle aches or pains or muscle cramps high BP or heart problems. These are some symptoms of magnesium deficiency
