Ensuring Adequate Magnesium Intake and Understanding Magnesium Supplements
The most practical approach to ensuring adequate magnesium intake is by tracking and calculating the magnesium content in your diet, focusing on magnesium-rich foods like green vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, and fish. Using resources like the USDA's Food Data Central can help estimate the nutrient content in foods, including magnesium. While getting a plasma or red blood cell magnesium test can rule out severe deficiency, it is not indicative of optimum magnesium levels. The upper safe limit for daily supplemental magnesium intake is 350 milligrams, as recommended by the US Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board, to prevent diarrhea and gastrointestinal issues from excessive supplementation.
