Why you should consult a doctor before taking magnesium supplements

youm7.com (Arabic)

Excessive magnesium from supplements can cause serious health issues, including life-threatening complications. Magnesium is vital for bodily functions, but high doses from supplements, unlike food, can overwhelm the kidneys, leading to symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, and in severe cases, heart rhythm disturbances and respiratory paralysis. Individuals with kidney problems, those taking high-dose supplements, or using magnesium-containing laxatives and antacids are at higher risk. The safe upper limit for adults from supplements is 350 mg daily, unless medically advised otherwise.
