Thorne Magnesium Bisglycinate - Powdered Magnesium Formula - Supports Restful Sleep

Magnesium, a common mineral in the human body, is involved in hundreds of bodily reactions, from muscle health to metabolism.* This information is provided to help you make an informed choice about incorporating magnesium supplementation into your health regimen. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare professional before starting any supplement routine.

Magnesium is found in a variety of dietary sources, including whole grains, nuts and seeds, leafy green vegetables like spinach, as well as meat, dairy, and mineral water. Research suggests that many Americans do not get sufficient magnesium from their diet. Individuals who take diuretics or have diabetes may be at a higher risk of low magnesium levels, as can those with conditions affecting nutrient absorption, such as celiac disease.

Low magnesium levels can contribute to fatigue, muscle weakness, and can exacerbate existing health issues like diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. Supplemental magnesium, on the other hand, can offer several benefits:

• Promotes energy production*
• Supports optimal muscle function*
• Supports bone health*
• Supports heart and lung function*
• Promotes carbohydrate metabolism*
• Helps decrease lactic acid accumulation during exertion, providing support for muscle soreness and fatigue*
• Helps maintain bowel regularity*

The recommended daily intake of magnesium varies by age and sex, but 350 milligrams (mg) is a good average target. Consuming more than 350 mg per day can lead to loose stools and diarrhea.

While magnesium supplements are generally well-tolerated, there are some potential side effects to be aware of. Gas, bloating, or diarrhea may occur if the recommended daily amount is exceeded. Individuals with poor kidney health may also be at a higher risk of magnesium toxicity. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional before taking a magnesium supplement, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition or are taking other medications.

Magnesium supplements can interact with various medications, including: - Decreasing the absorption of the heart medication digoxin (Lanoxin) and certain antimalarial drugs - Decreasing the absorption of some osteoporosis drugs, so magnesium should be taken at least two hours apart from these - Reducing the efficacy of some antibiotics and blood-thinning medications
