Safe to supplement: Magnesium is important for your body. It’s crucial for many functions in your body, including energy metabolism and protein synthesis. It also contributes to proper brain function, bone health, and heart and muscle activity. Magnesium supplements are generally safe to take up to 350mg per day in females and 400mg in males.
