A member asked:
Im low on magnesium from poor diet. ive started eating 400-500mg of magnesium from food per day will this be enough to replenish my mag?

Oral Mg replacement : You need to know how low your serum magnesium level is. Normal level is 1.5 to 2.5 and if your level is close to 1, you will likely need a total of a gram 500 mg twice daily or 400 mg three times daily for two weeks. Check your Mg level and adjust replacement accordingly
