It\u2019s a nutrient that your body needs daily to function properly. Like any other nutrients, your body is accustomed to day-to-day changes in intake. Some days you consume more magnesium, other days you consume less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinical trials examining the safety of magnesium supplementation consistently show that people can take a wide range of amounts without any significant problems. Trial daily dosages include a wide range:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Dose&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Type of Magnesium<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Who Took Magnesium<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Adverse Events<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>350 mg <span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-3\"><\/span><\/td><td>Sucrosomial\u00ae magnesium, magnesium citrate, magnesium oxide, or magnesium bisglycinate<\/td><td>Healthy subjects to compare magnesium type bioavailability<\/td><td>None reported<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>500 mg<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-4\"><\/span><\/td><td>Magnesium citrate<\/td><td>Healthy overweight subjects to improve and reduce metabolic risk factors<\/td><td>None reported<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1600 mg<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-5\"><\/span><\/td><td>Magnesium orotate<\/td><td>Overweight individuals to improve mood and inflammatory response<\/td><td>None reported<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3000 mg<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-6\"><\/span><\/td><td>Magnesium orotate<\/td><td>Men struggling with infertility<\/td><td>None reported<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your body can handle large amounts of magnesium because it can regulate magnesium levels to meet its needs through titration.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-7\"><\/span> Your body maintains a balance between how much magnesium it absorbs and how much it excretes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your magnesium levels are low, your gut absorbs more and the kidneys retain more of it; if they are high, they excrete more.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-8\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With no adverse effects reported in these studies, it means that you can take magnesium in different amounts, and it is generally safe. However, it&#8217;s still important to talk to a doctor or healthcare professional before taking any supplements to ensure it&#8217;s right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that some clinical trials that included larger dosages included participants with serious health concerns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens When You Take a High Dose of Magnesium?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2-1-1024x544.png\" alt=\"man holding a bottle of magnesium\" class=\"wp-image-150302315478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2-1-1024x544.png 1024w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2-1-768x408.png 768w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2-1-1536x816.png 1536w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2-1.png 1904w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s say you do take too much magnesium. What happens in your body? Let\u2019s take a look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loose Stools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because magnesium balance is partly maintained by your intestines (along with your bones and kidneys),<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-9\"><\/span>&#8211; it\u2019s no surprise that you may notice a change in your stools if you take a high dose of magnesium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the dose and type of magnesium, your body may not absorb all magnesium ions.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-10\"><\/span> After ions are absorbed through the intestinal wall, the unabsorbed ions can attract water and hold it there. This makes the contents of the intestine more fluid and helps to loosen the stool, causing a laxative effect.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-11\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some forms of magnesium are more likely to cause loose stools, such as magnesium citrate, oxide, and magnesium sulfate. This is why these forms of magnesium are often used as a treatment for constipation or as a way of clearing out the bowels for medical procedures like colonoscopies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas, amino acids and other organic chelates such as threonate, glycinate, malate, and aspartate are gentler to the gut and don\u2019t cause loose stools as easily. Some may even get absorbed like two-amino acid peptides.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-12\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temporary Increase in Serum Magnesium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you take a magnesium supplement, the magnesium ions are absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall. This causes a quick increase in your magnesium serum levels, which is the magnesium in the water portion of your blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A meta-analysis of 16 clinical trials examined the effects of taking magnesium supplements on serum magnesium levels. Those taking magnesium supplements ranging from 50 to 500 mg daily had significantly higher serum levels than those not taking supplements.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-13\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While taking a large dose of magnesium can rapidly increase your magnesium serum levels, it\u2019s important to note that it doesn\u2019t quickly change your body\u2019s overall magnesium levels. Only 1% of your body\u2019s magnesium is in your serum, while the rest is in your bones and tissues.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-14\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the serum, magnesium ions circulate in the bloodstream and are transported to various tissues and organs where needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of magnesium you take will determine how much your cells absorb. Some forms of magnesium are more bioavailable in cells than others. Research tells us that Sucrosomial magnesium and magnesium glycinate are particularly bioavailable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A study compared the absorption of Sucrosomial magnesium to other forms. Within 24 hours, the magnesium levels in subjects&#8217; red blood cells were significantly higher with Sucrosomial magnesium than in other forms.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-15\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another clinical trial highlighted the bioavailability of magnesium glycinate compared to magnesium oxide. Subjects took 100 mg of both forms of magnesium, but magnesium glycinate was better absorbed.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-12\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removal by the Kidneys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your kidneys tightly regulate your magnesium serum levels. If you take too much magnesium and your cells aren\u2019t using it, your magnesium serum levels become elevated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This signals your kidneys to help excrete the excess magnesium through urine to maintain the balance.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-16\"><\/span> This means if you take a lot of magnesium at once, you may lose more of it in your urine rather than be able to use it in your tissues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unabsorbed Magnesium Is Excreted in the Stool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We discussed how magnesium enters your bloodstream through your intestines and goes to your cells.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you don\u2019t absorb all of the magnesium in your gut, especially when you take more than you need. What isn\u2019t absorbed gets excreted through your feces or stool. This is also where loose stools or even diarrhea come into play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should Be Concerned About Taking High Doses (500 mg or more) of Magnesium (and Check with Their Doctors)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While taking 500mg of magnesium is safe for most people, some should be more cautious. Please note that we\u2019re not suggesting that our products can treat any condition, and we\u2019re including this caution for informational purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">People Taking Certain Medications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Medications can change how your body processes minerals, including magnesium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some use the same transport and metabolism pathways in the body for their intestinal absorption, metabolism, and elimination. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3-1-1024x686.png\" alt=\"person about to take one pill of magnesium\" class=\"wp-image-150302315479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3-1-1024x686.png 1024w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3-1-768x514.png 768w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3-1-1536x1029.png 1536w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3-1.png 1605w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Antibiotics such as aminoglycosides<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-17\"><\/span>, tetracyclines<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-18\"><\/span>, and quinolones<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-19\"><\/span><\/strong><\/li><li>Bisphosphonates, like alendronate, commonly used to treat osteoporosis. Magnesium can decrease bisphosphonate absorption.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-20\"><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Other medications are more likely to cause magnesium loss by increasing urine excretion. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Diuretics&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li>Antacids, especially proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-18\"><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking magnesium with blood pressure medication can lead to low blood pressure. Calcium channel blockers treat high blood pressure by blocking calcium from entering cells. Magnesium can also block calcium entry and lead to excessively low blood pressure when taken together.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-21\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">People with Kidney Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have kidney issues, taking high amounts of magnesium is probably not a good idea. The kidneys help control the levels of magnesium in your body. When the kidneys aren&#8217;t working properly, they may be unable to get rid of excess magnesium. This can cause the levels of magnesium in the serum to become too high, which can harm your organs and body functions.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-22\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, magnesium supplementation may be beneficial in certain cases, and this should be decided in consultation with your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">People with Gastrointestinal Disorders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already struggle with stomach cramping and diarrhea, you should be cautious when considering taking a high dose of magnesium. Magnesium supplements can sometimes cause gastrointestinal side effects. These symptoms can be worse in individuals with pre-existing gastrointestinal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">People at Risk of Heart Failure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While magnesium plays a critical role in heart health, there are times when you should be cautious. When heart failure patients have too much magnesium, it can harm their health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A meta-analysis explored the effects of having too much or too little magnesium on heart failure patients. Researchers determined that high magnesium levels affect the heart&#8217;s channels, causing irregular heartbeats and worse outcomes. It also affects the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, making muscles less responsive.<span class=\"custom-citation\" data-id=\"ref-23\"><\/span> This leads to problems like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Irregular heart rhythms&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li>Widened blood vessels&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Weak heart muscle&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li>Low blood pressure<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting any supplement, it&#8217;s important to consult a healthcare professional who can assess your specific condition and provide personalized advice regarding magnesium use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re healthy, exceeding magnesium RDA and taking 500 mg a day is absolutely safe. If you take too much, you can just expect loose stools. If you\u2019re considering taking a higher dose of magnesium,&nbsp; a great place to start is by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Getting your magnesium levels tested.
