Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. The RDA for magnesium is about 300 mg. A magnesium supplement can be purchased in health food stores, in drug stores, or on the internet.
Deficiency or low intake symptoms
Feeling tired and noticing weird muscle cramps that are
throwing off your workouts? You might be suffering from a magnesium
deficiency. This mineral is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions
in your body. It affects everything from your heartbeat to your muscles
to your hormones.

Types of magnesium
supplements
There are quite a number of different types that are
available, including the following:
Magnesium sulfate - citrate (used as laxative) - oxide -
chloride - stearate (usually found as one of the fillers
and binders in capsules) -
hydroxide (used as antacid) - glycinate -
carbonate - taurate - gluconate - orotate - L-aspartate hydrochloride, and lactate.
Magnesium sulfate (also spelled as sulphate) is
administered intravenously in hospitals.
I have an aunt that use to get a supply of
pidolate de magnesium from France from a family who traveled there frequently.
It seems to be called magnesium picolinate in the USA. Do you have it available
for sale?
I am not very familiar with this form of the mineral.
Magnesium orotate dihydrate is poorly soluble in water and hence does not bind gastric acid nor does it exhibit noteworthy laxative effects upon oral administration in contrast to easily dissociable magnesium salts. As a source of magnesium, it is indicated for the oral treatment of extracellular magnesium deficiency. Orotic acid, the second active ingredient of magnesium orotate, is an intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway of pyrimidines and is shown to improve the energy status of injured myocardium by stimulating, a.o., the synthesis of glycogen and ATP. Myocardial energy-rich phosphate levels are decreased during hypoxic conditions; subsequently, intracellular magnesium is depleted and lost via the urine.
Which form is best?
The most common forms that are ingested as supplements
include magnesium chelate, citrate, aspartate, and oxide. Magnesium powder
is also available for sale.
There is a controversy regarding the ideal form to
be taken as a supplement. Although there may be variations in absorption rates
of different forms, I am not sure, for practical purposes, if it
makes much of a difference in the long run. Sometimes dosages of supplements
that people take are very high, and it may be preferable that less is absorbed.
Each case and each person is different, so I can't make any generalizations. One
study shows citrate and chelate are better absorbed, but red
blood cell levels of magnesium were found to be equal with all three forms. As you can see by the number of studies listed below, various forms
all appear to have therapeutic benefits.
Magnesium citrate found more bioavailable than other Magnesium
preparations in a randomised, double-blind study.
Magnes Research. 2003.
In this 60 day study, the relative bioavailability of three preparations of
magnesium (amino-acid chelate, citrate and oxide) were compared at a daily dose
of 300 mg of elemental Mg in 46 healthy individuals. Results showed that
supplementation of the organic forms of magnesium (citrate and amino-acid
chelate) showed greater absorption at 60 days than oxide. Magnesium
citrate led to the greatest mean serum magnesium concentration compared with
other treatments. The red blood cell magnesium concentration showed no
differences among groups. Chronic magnesium citrate supplementation resulted in
the greatest magnesium concentration in saliva.
My comments: As far as treatment of medical conditions, it appears
many different forms have similar benefits. A few paragraphs below
there is a study regarding the benefit of magnesium oxide for heart failure.
Therefore, for practical purposes, I am not sure if one form is
superior to another form. One option is to take various forms of magnesium
supplements as opposed to just one form.
Is it true that
magnesium oxide is form that doesn’t absorb well?
It is absorbed sufficiently to have an effect on
bone mineral content.
Ter Arkh. 2015.
Meta-analysis of clinical trials of cardiovascular effects of magnesium orotate.
The use of magnesium orotate is promising not only in treating MVP mitral valve
prolapse and compensating for hypomagnesemia, but also in preventing and
treating cardiac arrhythmias, regulating blood pressure, and improving the
function of the autonomic nervous system.
Food: Magnesium content in diet
Magnesium rich foods -- Green vegetables such as spinach are good sources
because the center of the chlorophyll molecule (which gives green
vegetables their color) contains magnesium. Other foods high in magnesium
include legumes (beans and peas), nuts and seeds. Whole, unrefined grains are
also good sources. Refined grains are generally low in in this mineral.
When white flour is refined and processed, the magnesium -rich germ and bran are
removed. Dietary magnesium is
absorbed in the small intestines. The mineral is excreted through the kidneys.
Hard water is also considered to be an important source of magnesium
beneficial to human health.
Benefit and medical uses
Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.
It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady,
supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. It also helps
regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be
involved in energy metabolism and
protein synthesis. There is an increased
interest in its role in preventing and managing disorders such as
hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Those with higher levels
seem to have a lower risk of sudden cardiac death. Magnesium may even help some
individuals who have migraine
headache.
Rocz Panstw Zakl Hig. 2013. Magnesium: its role in nutrition and carcinogenesis. Mg plays a key role in many essential cellular processes such as intermediary metabolism, DNA replication and repair, transporting potassium and calcium ions, cell proliferation together with signaling transduction. The daily dietary intake of magnesium is frequently found to be below that recommended in Western countries. Indeed, it is recognised that magnesium deficiency may lead to many disorders of the human body, where for instance magnesium depletion is believed to play an important role in the etiology of the following; cardiovascular disease (including thrombosis, atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, hypertension, arrhythmias and congestive heart failure in human), as well as diabetes mellitus, gastrointestinal (GI) tract disease, liver cirrhosis and diseases of the thyroid and parathyroid glands. Insufficient dietary intake of magnesium may also significantly affect the development and exacerbation of ADHD (Attention Deficit- Hyperactivity Disorder) symptoms in children.
Anxiety reduction, relaxation, does it help with
sleep?
Q. I have started to take Natural
Vitality Calm Magnesium citrate with excellent results so far. I have noticed a
relaxation of mind and body which I feel is needed for someone with stress and
anxiety. Is Magnesium citrate the form you would recommend for anxiety, long
term use, etc.? What about the dosage and type of supplement (powder, capsule,
tablet, etc.)? I was thinking of taking approximately 160 mg of the Magnesium
citrate a day for 5 or 6 days per week.
A. I think different types work well enough so there is no need to
be very specific.
On Fox News in June 2015 a doctor said that taking a
magnesium supplement before bed was good for sleep, is this true?
In my experience this mineral does not have much of an effect on
treating insomnia, although some people may notice a very mild effect on sleep
induction.
Bone mineral density, osteoporosis
A higher intake of magnesium from food and supplements may keep bones
healthy as people age, according to results of a study in Journal of the
American Geriatrics Society which suggests that greater magnesium intake is
significantly related to higher bone mineral density (BMD) in white men and
women.
According to the paper, there was an approximate 2 percent increase in
whole-body BMD for every 100 milligram per day increase in magnesium. Higher
magnesium intake through dietary change or supplementation may provide an
additional strategy for the prevention of osteoporosis but results of studies
are conflicting.
Am J Clin Nutr. 2014. Magnesium intake, bone mineral density, and fractures: results from the
Women's Health Initiative Observational Study. Lower magnesium intake is
associated with lower BMD of the hip and whole body, but this result does not
translate into increased risk of fractures.
A randomized controlled study of effects of
dietary magnesium oxide supplementation on bone mineral content in healthy
girls.
J Clin Endocrinology Metabolim. 2006.
Limited studies suggest that dietary magnesium intake and bone mineral
density are correlated in adults, but no data from interventional studies in
children and adolescents are available. We sought to determine whether Mg
supplementation in periadolescent girls enhances accrual of bone mass. We
carried out a prospective, placebo-controlled, randomized, one-year double-blind
trial of Mg supplementation. Healthy 8- to 14-yr-old Caucasian girls were
recruited from community pediatricians' offices. Dietary diaries from over 120
volunteers were analyzed, and those with dietary Mg intake of less than 220 mg/d
were invited to participate in the intervention. Magnesium (300 mg elemental
magnesium per day in two divided doses) or placebo was given orally for 12
months. Significantly increased accrual in integrated hip bone mineral content
occurred in the Mg-supplemented vs. placebo group. Serum mineral levels,
calciotropic hormones, and bone markers were similar between groups. Oral Mg
oxide capsules are safe and well tolerated.
Magnesium intake from food and supplements is
associated with bone mineral density in healthy older white subjects.
J Am Geriatric Soc. 2005.
Department of Medicine, Health Science Center, University of Tennessee, Memphis,
Tennessee
Greater magnesium intake was
significantly related to higher BMD in white women and men. The lack of
association observed in black women and men may be related to differences in
calcium
regulation or in nutrient reporting.
Cancer, tumor
High levels in the diet may lower a woman's risk of
developing colon cancer
but it is difficult to tell whether the benefit is due to magnesium intake
rather than some related factor. Magnesium has been hypothesized to cut the risk
of colon cancer by reducing oxidative stress, improving insulin sensitivity, or
through mechanisms that reduce proliferation of cells in the colon.
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2006.
Diabetes and blood sugar
problems
Those who consume a good amount of this mineral in their diet are less likely to
have high blood sugar levels and less likely to have
diabetes in the future.
Clinical efficacy of magnesium supplementation in
patients with type 2 diabetes.
J Am Coll Nutrition. 2004.
Effects of magnesium supplementation on nine
mild type 2 diabetic patients with stable glycemic control were
investigated. Water from a salt lake with a high natural Mg content (7%)
(MAG21) was used for 30 days. Fasting serum immunoreactive insulin level decreased significantly. There was also a
marked decrease of the mean triglyceride level after supplementation. The
patients with hypertension showed significant reduction of systolic,
diastolic, and mean blood pressure. The salt lake water supplement, MAG21,
exerted clinical benefit as a Mg supplement in patients with mild type 2
diabetes mellitus.
Oral magnesium supplementation improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic
control in type 2 diabetic subjects: a randomized double-blind controlled trial.
Diabetes Care. 2003.
A total of 63 subjects with type 2 diabetes and decreased serum magnesium
treated by glibenclamide received either 50 ml magnesium chloride solution
(containing 50 g magnesium chloride per 1,000 ml solution) or placebo daily for
16 weeks. Oral supplementation with magnesium chloride solution restores serum
levels, improving insulin sensitivity and metabolic control in type 2
diabetic patients.
DNA damage prevention
Oxid Med Cell Longev. 2016. Magnesium Supplementation Diminishes Peripheral
Blood Lymphocyte DNA Oxidative Damage in Athletes and Sedentary Young Man. The
aim of this study was to determine whether four-week-long magnesium
supplementation in students with sedentary lifestyle and rugby players could
prevent or diminish impairment of DNA. Our study demonstrated that the number of
peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) with basal endogenous DNA damage is
significantly higher in rugby players compared to students with sedentary
lifestyle. On the other hand, magnesium supplementation significantly decreased
the number of cells with high DNA damage. The results of our study suggest that
four-week-long magnesium supplementation has marked effects in protecting the
DNA from oxidative damage in both rugby players and in young men with sedentary
lifestyle.
Drug abuse reduction
A preliminary, controlled investigation of
magnesium L-aspartate hydrochloride for illicit cocaine and opiate use in
methadone-maintained patients.
J Addict Dis. 2003.
Eighteen methadone-maintained patients who used illicit opiates and cocaine
received either Mg (732 mg/day) or placebo for 12 weeks. The preliminary
findings suggest that magnesium may have a beneficial effect for reducing
illicit opiate use.
Exercise, physical endurance, activity
Daily magnesium oxide supplementation
for 12 weeks seems to improve physical performance in healthy elderly women.
These findings suggest a role for magnesium supplementation in preventing or
delaying the age-related decline in physical performance. Effect of oral
magnesium supplementation on physical performance in healthy elderly women
involved in a weekly exercise program: a randomized controlled trial. Am J Clin
Nutr 2014.
Heart
failure treatment, role in heart disease
Acute and chronic oral magnesium supplementation: effects on endothelial
function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with symptomatic
heart failure.
Congest Heart Fail. 2006. Fuentes JC, Salmon AA,
Silver MA. Department of Medicine and Heart Failure Institute, Advocate Christ
Medical Center, Oak Lawn, IL 60453, USA.
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of acute and chronic
oral magnesium supplementation on endothelial function in patients with
symptomatic heart failure. Twenty-two symptomatic chronic heart failure patients
were randomized to receive 800 mg oral magnesium oxide daily or placebo for 3
months. Patients who received magnesium had improved small arterial compliance
at 3 months from baseline compared with placebo.
Heart
disease
Effects of oral magnesium therapy on exercise tolerance, exercise-induced chest
pain, and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease.
Am J Cardiol. 2003. The Heart Institute, Sheba
Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel.
Patients with coronary artery disease were randomized to receive either oral
magnesium 15 mmol twice daily (Magnosolv-Granulat, total magnesium 365 mg
provided as magnesium citrate) or placebo for 6 months. Oral magnesium citrate
supplementation in patients with coronary artery disease for 6 months results in
a significant improvement in exercise tolerance, exercise-induced chest pain,
and quality of life.
Oral magnesium supplementation in adults with
coronary heart disease or coronary heart disease risk.
J Am Acad Nurse Pract. 2009.
There were no
reports of adverse effects from magnesium supplementation in any of the studies.
Subjects reporting lower dietary magnesium intake had significantly lower serum
magnesium concentrations than those reporting higher dietary intake
and, in some cases, had a significantly higher frequency of supraventricular
beats There is
a possible association between a modestly lower risk of CHD in men and increased
magnesium intake; therefore, it is reasonable to encourage diets high in
magnesium as a potential means to lower the risk of CHD.
Urinary and plasma
magnesium and risk of ischemic heart disease.
Am J of Clinical Nutrition, 2013.
An increased dietary intake of magnesium, particularly in those with the lowest
urinary magnesium, could reduce the risk of IHD.
Oral magnesium supplementation inhibits platelet-dependent thrombosis in
patients with coronary artery disease.
Am J Cardiology. 1999.
Heart rhythm
Magnesium as an anti-arrhythmic therapy principle
in supraventricular and ventricular cardiac arrhythmias
Z Kardiol 1996.
The use of magnesium as an antiarrhythmic agent in ventricular and
supraventricular arrhythmias is a matter of an increasing but still
controversial discussion during recent years. With regard to the well
established importance of magnesium in experimental studies for preserving
electrical stability and function of myocardial cells and tissue, the use
of magnesium for treating one or the other arrhythmia seems to be a valid
concept. In addition, magnesium application represents a physiologic
approach, and by this, is simple, cost-effective and safe for the patient.
However, when one reviews the available data from controlled studies on
the antiarrhythmic effects of magnesium, there are only a few types of
cardiac arrhythmias, such as torsade de pointes, digitalis-induced
ventricular arrhythmias and ventricular arrhythmias occurring in the
presence of heart failure or during the perioperative state, in which the
antiarrhythmic benefit of magnesium has been shown and/or established.
Particularly in patients with one of these types of cardiac arrhythmias,
however, it should be realized that preventing the patient from a
magnesium deficit is the first, and the application of magnesium the
second best strategy to keep the patient free from cardiac arrhythmias.
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Magnesium may be beneficial in
mitral valve
prolapse.
High blood pressure, hypertension
Oral magnesium supplements decrease
high blood pressure (SBP > 155mmHg) in hypertensive subjects on
anti-hypertensive medications: a targeted meta-analysis. Magnes Research, August
1, 2013.
Magnesium dilates arteries, and in doing so lowers blood pressure.
Sleep and insomnia
J Res Med Sci. 2012. The effect of
magnesium supplementation on primary insomnia in elderly: A double-blind
placebo-controlled clinical trial. A double-blind randomized clinical trial was
conducted in 46 elderly subjects, randomly allocated into the magnesium or the
placebo group and received 500 mg magnesium or placebo daily for 8 weeks.
Supplementation appears to improve subjective measures of insomnia such as ISI
score, sleep efficiency, sleep time and sleep onset latency, early morning
awakening, and likewise, insomnia objective measures such as concentration of
serum renin, melatonin, and serum cortisol, in elderly people.
Stroke
Dietary magnesium intake is inversely associated with risk of stroke,
specifically ischemic stroke. American Society for Nutrition, 2012.
Magnesium deficiency
Severe magnesium deficiency is not common in the United States, however
there may be many people who go on with their lives with marginal magnesium
deficiency. Early signs of moderate magnesium deficiency include loss of
appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. As magnesium deficiency
becomes more severe, numbness, tingling, muscle contractions and cramps,
seizures, personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasms can
occur.
Magnesium deficiency resulting from feeding a diet that has a third
of the recommended magnesium intake induces heart arrhythmias, impairs glucose
balance, and alters cholesterol metabolism. J Am Coll Nutr. 2007.
Use with calcium
Is it important to take magnesium and calcium supplements at separate
(differing) times of the day?
There is no simple answer. It may depend on your overall health,
absorption capacity, condition being treated, use with food or empty stomach,
types of food taken with, dosage of the minerals, medications you may be using,
other supplements taken at the same time or at other times of day, and other
factors. The most practical option is to at times take them together and at
other times to take them separately.
Research
studies
For children who need to go to the ER because of a
severe asthma attack, giving them an intravenous infusion of magnesium
sulphate along with conventional medications provides an additional
benefit.
Emails
I notice that the multi vitamin formula
contains magnesium oxide. I was reading that it is inferior
to other compounds such as chloride and lactate. Is this accurate?
Since there have never been long term human studies
comparing the different forms of magnesium, it is premature to say that
one form is better or inferior than another form.
I recently read a claim that taking the
recommended supplementation of 1000-1200 mg Calcium, especially without
magnesium supplementation, is too high a dose of calcium and leads to
kidney stone, Ca crystal deposits in joints, etc. This source claimed that
one should take less Ca and an equal amount of Magnesium ...and if you
purchase their newsletter, they will tell you how much of each you should
take. Any credence to this? And if so, what is the ratio of Calcium
Magnesium? Personally, I do not respect a source that poses such a
tease and then doesn't answer it unless you pay. I appreciate the quality
of the information you provide in your newsletter, especially your candor
re: evaluation of research data and journal articles. Having been in
research, I know the ways data are mainupulated to please funding sources
and get grant renewals. Unfortunately, most lay people still view
"scientific research" as gospel.
Thank you for your good question. Scientists are
still trying to prove that calcium supplements do work to strengthen
bones, and this claim seems to have a good confidence of being accurate.
We have not seen any studies on the combination of calcium and magnesium
to know whether this is better for bones. Since we don't even know the
answer to this simple question, it remains to be seen what the ratios
should be. There's not enough research to know the ideal calcium magnesium
ration. My thought would be if someone were to supplement their diet with
calcium and magnesium, an educated guess would be between 500 to 1000 mg
of calcium and 100 to 300 mg of magnesium.
I'm confused: can magnesium and calcium be
taken together? If they counteract each other, why are there cal/mag
supplements? Please advise because I'd like to take magnesium to help my
depression and fatigue, but read either contradictory advice as to whether
calcium should be taken with it or not.
As a general rule, we don't see why magnesium and
calcium can't be taken together.
What is magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, have you heard of
it?
Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is a bleaching agent used in
cosmetic products.
I saw an article online in which Dr. Sahelian
speaks of magnesium for helping reduce hypertension. A Japanese researcher
was sited and the magnesium was referred to as mg (OH)2. Could you explain
what the OH2 is? I searched but couldn't find an answer. Also, does Dr.
Sahelian consider magnesium as the most effective supplement for
hypertension? What about hawthorne?
OH2 stands for hydroxide, it is one of the forms magnesium is
sold. Magnesium may help some people with high blood pressure but in order
to reduce hypertension, a comprehensive dietary and lifestyle program
should be initiated. See
hypertension
for more info.
I have just read some of your e-mails on
magnesium and I was wondering what is the difference between magnesium stearate and the other types of magnesium. I used to use magnesium
stearate (suggested by a doctor) to help me relax so I could get good
sleep. It also helped me with muscle tension and stiffness. Well I can no
longer find magnesium stearate. I've tried using citrate and
oxide but they don't help like the stearate did.
Magnesium stearate is formed by stearate (the anion of stearic
acid) and magnesium. Magnesium stearate is used as a filling agent in the
manufacture of nutritional tablets since it prevents ingredients from
sticking to manufacturing equipment during the making of capsules and
tablets. We have not come across magnesium stearate sold as a form of a
magnesium supplement in capsule form.
What is the usual starting dose?
The usual staring dosage for a magnesium supplement can range
from 100 to 200 mg.
You discuss magnesium and it doesn’t matter about what type, but in her book Dr Carolyn Dean M.D. N.D. “ The Miracle Magnesium” says that plenty of research she and others has done tells that magnesium oxide it was found only is absorbed to the tune of about 4% so a 400 mg dose for example would only be about 16 mg absorbed. She says the best is magnesium citrate for bio-availability, so who is right and who isn’t doing research?
Is there any advantage to taking ionic magnesium
rather than other forms of magnesium supplements?
I am not aware of any studies that indicate ionic magnesium is
superior to other forms.
Does magnesium help with
erythromelalgia?
As of 2013, I have not seen such studies.
Love your site, great reliable information. I have a
question regarding magnesium oil. Does it significantly aid in restoring
a magnesium deficiency? I have read that through oral supplementation it
can take up to 2 years to rectify a severe deficiency in magnesium. Does
magnesium oil offer any genuine advantages over oral supplementation?
I have not seen any studies with magnesium oil. There are
certain web sites that claim rubbing this oil in the skin restores
deficiencies and is superior to oral ingestion of pills, but I have not
come across any such research. A deficiency of magnesium can be reversed
with oral pills in days or weeks rather than years.
I have a question about magnesium pills. I take a pill every night
before bedtime and give one to my husband as well. Yesterday I was told
that it helps people with headaches. My husband has a spinal problem and
wakes up in the morning always with a headache because of his bad neck.
I was told yesterday to give him magnesium pills 3 times daily and
perhaps it would help his headaches. Can you kindly touch on magnesium
in your next newsletter and perhaps talk about the benefits and how much
most of us need to take on a daily basis, especially those of us with
muscular and arthritic problems.
Headaches are caused by multiple factors and magnesium
product use is rarely an adequate solution.
