Feature Summary

Magnesium helps maintain proper muscle function and bone health. It also supports metabolism, the ability to derive energy from proteins, carbohydrates, and fat.³ The body’s magnesium needs can be increased by stress, an unbalanced diet, coffee and alcohol consumption⁴, and certain medications such as proton-pump inhibitors.⁵ As a result, it can be difficult to meet the body’s daily magnesium needs through diet alone.⁶

In a randomized, controlled trial, healthy older women were assigned to the treatment group receiving 300 mg of magnesium daily or to a control group. After 12 weeks, the treatment group had significant improvements in physical performance compared to the control group. The authors concluded that supplementation may have a role in preventing age-related physical decline.⁷ A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that supplementation with 300 mg of magnesium bisglycinate daily for four weeks decreased the frequency and intensity of pregnancy-induced leg cramps.⁸ Magnesium is an important factor in muscle mass and repair and has been shown to relieve muscle cramps of various causes.⁹ Magnesium is also an important factor for maintaining bone health. Multiple systematic reviews have found a higher intake of magnesium to be associated with both a higher bone mineral density as well as a lower risk of fracture among older adults.^10,11

Drug Interactions

When taken together, magnesium can decrease the absorption of levodopa/carbidopa13, quinolone antibiotics14, and tetracycline antibiotics15, and can increase the absorption of sulfonylureas.16 Magnesium levels may be depleted by aminoglycoside antibiotics17, amphotericin B18, cyclosporine17, digoxin19, potassium-wasting diuretics17, oral contraceptives20, foscarnet21, sodium phosphates22, tacrolimus23, and proton-pump inhibitors.5
