Experts do not suggest magnesium supplements if you do not have a magnesium deficiency, as there is no evidence that taking extra will provide health improvements to those who aren’t deficient.
As a primary care doctor at Houston Methodist, Dr. Noorhan Nassar w:arned: “The actual data supporting benefits of supplementation in otherwise healthy adults isn’t complete — results are mixed and the design of these studies isn’t always ideal.”
He added: “There are studies showing that magnesium can have a laxative effect.”
Always check with your doctor or a medical professional before taking them.
