A member asked:

Would magnesium supplements cause or trigger a yeast infection?

Dr. Harold Mandel answered

Specializes in General Practice

No: Actually a lack of magnesium can worsen Candida symptoms and so magnesium supplements should help fight yeast infections. Adequate magnesium is also essential for energy levels, mood, and strong bones. Magnesium also helps maintain normal blood pressure and heart rhythm.
