Description
As a dietary supplement, take 1 tablet 3 times daily, preferably with meals.
Dosage and Administration
Magnesium supplementation is usually recommended in small doses, taken regularly each day, with a full glass of water to avoid diarrhea. We recommend always checking with a doctor before starting magnesium supplementation as magnesium may cause complications for individuals suffering from certain conditions.
It is also recommended to take a B vitamin complex or a multivitamin containing B vitamins in conjunction with magnesium supplementation, since the level of vitamin B6 in body affects how much magnesium will be absorbed into the cells.
Magnesium requirements may increase during times of high protein synthesis, such as pregnancy, recovering from certain illnesses, and athletic training or Muscle Building.
