# Can I take Mag7? Understanding Dosage and Guidelines

## Dosage 

Since the body cannot produce magnesium on its own, it requires an average daily intake of **310–420 mg** to support normal physiological functions such as muscle activity, nerve signalling, and energy metabolism.

The upgraded **Mag7 provides 370 mg elemental magnesium per serving**, helping bridge daily magnesium gaps through multiple highly absorbable forms. 

## When to consume Mag7? 

Take two capsules daily, either in the morning or evening, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Morning intake may help support cognitive clarity and stress balance throughout the day. Evening intake may help promote muscle relaxation, nervous system calm, and restful sleep.

Adjusting the timing of magnesium supplementation can help support specific wellness goals, whether enhancing daytime focus or encouraging nighttime relaxation and recovery.

## **Who should avoid taking** Mag7**?** 

Magnesium supplements are generally well tolerated. However, certain medications and health conditions may require medical guidance before use.

Magnesium may interact with certain medications by influencing mineral absorption or electrolyte balance.

1. Magnesium may enhance the effects of **calcium channel blockers** (such as amlodipine or diltiazem), potentially lowering blood pressure further.
2. Some **diuretics** (such as furosemide) may increase magnesium loss through urine, while potassium-sparing diuretics (such as spironolactone) may increase magnesium levels.
3. Magnesium may interfere with the absorption of certain **antibiotics**, including quinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin) and tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline). Taking these medications and magnesium supplements at separate times may help reduce this interaction.
4. Individuals with **impaired kidney function or renal disease** should consult a healthcare professional before using magnesium supplements, as magnesium excretion may be reduced.

Patients with **neuromuscular conditions**, such as myasthenia gravis, should also consult their healthcare practitioner before use.

Individual responses to supplements may vary. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for personalised guidance before starting any new supplement.
