Magnesium Is Important—but More Isn’t Always Better
Magnesium plays an important role in normal nerve and muscle function, heart function, and bone health.
Most people get magnesium naturally through foods such as nuts, seeds, beans, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.
The concern generally isn’t magnesium from ordinary foods. The bigger issue is high-dose supplementation, particularly when someone has a condition that affects how the body handles magnesium.
That’s why taking a supplement simply because it’s advertised as “natural” doesn’t automatically make it appropriate for everyone.
