Overview
•Magnesium at 400mg per serving is within safe daily limits (350-420mg for adults) per NIH guidelines, minimizing overdose risk in healthy individuals.
•Combination forms (citrate, glycinate, malate) reduce GI side effects like diarrhea compared to citrate alone, as supported by studies on bioavailability.
•Potential interactions with antibiotics, bisphosphonates, and diuretics; separate dosing by 2 hours to avoid reduced absorption.
•Not recommended for those with kidney disease due to impaired magnesium excretion; consult physician for impaired renal function.
•Bovine gelatin capsule poses low allergy risk but avoid if sensitive to beef products; no major contaminants reported in NOW Foods manufacturing.
•Safe for long-term use at this dosage for most adults, but pregnant/breastfeeding women should consult healthcare providers per Mayo Clinic advice.
