- Take 400–500 mg at night.
- Don’t use magnesium laxatives for more than a few days straight unless your doctor says it’s okay.
- Drink plenty of water.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include:
- a loss of appetite
- nausea or vomiting
- fatigue or weakness
- muscle cramps
- numbness
- seizures
- heart rhythm changes or spasms
People who experience kidney issues should avoid taking magnesium.
