Overview
•Magnesium glycinate at 160 mg elemental magnesium per tablet is well below the supplemental UL of 350 mg/day for adults and generally well-tolerated due to the chelated form.
•May cause mild gastrointestinal effects like diarrhea if total daily magnesium from all sources exceeds individual tolerance.
•Use with caution in individuals with impaired kidney function as they have reduced ability to excrete excess magnesium.
•No known major drug interactions at this dose, but high doses can affect absorption of certain antibiotics or bisphosphonates if taken concurrently.
•Suitable for most adults when dietary intake is inadequate; consult a health professional if symptoms persist or if pregnant/breastfeeding.
