Can I take Mag7? Understanding Dosage and Guidelines

This article describes the dosages and guidelines on how to consume Mag7

Dosage

Since the body cannot produce magnesium on its own, it needs an average daily intake of 310 to 420 mg to meet its requirement.

When to consume Mag7?

Take one or two capsules daily.

Morning dosages aid in enhanced cognition & stress support.

Evening doses help relax muscles and nerves, promoting better sleep & relaxation.

By adjusting the timing of magnesium supplementation, you can target specific health benefits, whether it's improving mental performance during the day or promoting relaxation and sleep at night.

Who should avoid taking Mag7?

Magnesium supplements do not have contraindications with other medications. However, certain drugs can raise or lower the levels of either magnesium or the prescribed medication.

  • Magnesium can enhance the effects of Calcium Channel Blockers like amlodipine and diltiazem by further lowering blood pressure, potentially causing hypotension (low blood pressure).

  • Some diuretics (like furosemide) can cause magnesium loss through urine, increasing the risk of magnesium deficiency, while potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone) can increase magnesium levels, leading to toxicity.

  • It is essential to evaluate kidney function before taking magnesium, as renal failure can impair magnesium excretion, potentially leading to toxicity.

  • Patients with neuromuscular conditions, such as myasthenia gravis, should be carefully monitored when receiving magnesium.

  • Magnesium can interfere with the absorption of certain antibiotics like quinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin), tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline).

Individual responses to supplements can vary and it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
