1. People With Kidney Problems Need Extra Caution
The first group highlighted in the article is people with kidney problems.
Your kidneys play an important role in removing excess magnesium from the body.
When kidney function is significantly impaired, the body may have more difficulty getting rid of extra magnesium. Taking supplemental magnesium without appropriate medical guidance can therefore increase the risk of magnesium building up in the bloodstream.
This is one reason people with kidney disease shouldn’t start magnesium supplements on their own.
