A member asked:
My magnesium is low at 0.68mmol/l ive bought magnesium citrate which delivers 200mg elemental magnesium is this safe with healthy normal kidneys?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, however: Magnesium is VERY safe for everyone with healthy kidneys.The only side effect from too much would be loose stools.With levels that low I advise trying 200 mg 2x/day. Increase dietary magnesium (dark leafy greens,seeds,beans- see https://tinyurl.com/5ppada) Mag citrate is OK but Mag Taurate,Glycinate and ReMag are even better;try adding to citrate. see https://drcarolyndean.com/magnesium_miracle/
