Magnesium also helps support healthy blood sugar levels, normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.
Contraindications : Taking too much magnesium may lead to diarrhoea. More serious problems can develop with excessive magnesium intake from magnesium-containing laxatives. However, the amounts of magnesium found in nutritional supplements are unlikely to cause such problems. People with kidney disease should not take magnesium supplements without consulting a doctor. Magnesium has a range of beneficial and adverse interactions with various medications so if you are taking a medication you should check with your health professional before taking it. Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.
