Health Experts Issue New Warning About Magnesium Supplements — Especially for These Two High-Risk Groups – Page 7

Before taking magnesium — or any supplement — doctors recommend asking these simple but crucial questions:

Do I really need this supplement?
Get tested for deficiencies before assuming you’re low on magnesium.
Could it interact with my medications?
Magnesium can interfere with antibiotics, heart medications, and certain diuretics.
What’s the right dosage for me?
Your doctor can recommend a safe amount based on your health, diet, and age.
Would food sources be safer?
For most people, adding more magnesium-rich foods to their diet is safer and more effective than supplements.
