Read this first Everything here is reference information drawn from the research literature, not medical advice, and Lamduan is neither a doctor nor a pharmacist. Supplements are not medicines and do not replace anything a doctor has prescribed. If you take regular medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have liver or kidney disease, or have surgery coming up, speak to a pharmacist or doctor before starting anything on this page.

Minerals

Magnesium glycinate / citrate / oxide

What it is

A mineral over 300 enzymes depend on. The form matters: glycinate, citrate and malate absorb far better than oxide, which is the cheapest and the worst absorbed.

What it helps with Moderate

Correcting deficiency, migraine prevention and constipation — the three well-supported uses.

Effect on hormones Weak

In people who are deficient it improves insulin resistance. In people who are not, there is no measurable hormonal effect.

Weight and fat loss No human data

Does not reduce fat.

Sleep Weak

Its reputation for sleep runs well ahead of the evidence: the pooled data is three trials in 151 people, rated low to very low quality, finding sleep onset about 17 minutes faster in older adults with insomnia. Not nothing — but far thinner than people assume.

Other health effects Strong evidence

Muscle, heart, bone and nerve conduction.

Dose and ceiling

Commonly used: 200-400 mg per day

350 mg/day — IOM; EFSA says 250 mg. Counts supplemental magnesium only, not food, and is set on diarrhoea rather than toxicity.

Caution Excess causes diarrhoea, which is self-limiting and not dangerous. But in impaired kidney function the safety margin nearly vanishes — high blood magnesium causes low blood pressure, muscle weakness and, at the extreme, cardiac arrest. Ask a doctor first.

Interacts with medicines Reduces absorption of quinolone and tetracycline antibiotics and of bisphosphonates — separate by at least 2-4 hours.
