Along with other vitamins and minerals, magnesium is found in many foods such as vegetables (particularly green,
leafy vegetables like spinach), some legumes (beans and peas), nuts and seeds, and whole, unrefined grains,
including bread made from whole grain wheat flour, oatmeal and bran flakes.

Who Needs Magnesium Supplements?
A good healthy diet should be sufficient to meet one's needs for magnesium, as well as other vitamins and
minerals.
However, a diet high in fat may cause less magnesium to be absorbed and cooking may decrease the magnesium content
of food.
Furthermore, with a busy lifestyle, people tend to eat less healthy food that does not ensure the proper amount of
nutrients in their diet.
Some conditions that may also necessitate a supplemental intake of magnesium include:
Gastrointestinal disorders that decrease the absorption of Magnesium, such as Crohn's disease, chronic and
excessive diarrhea and vomiting.
The intake of some medicines that may result in magnesium deficiency, including certain diuretics, antibiotics, and
medications used to treat cancer.
Poorly-controlled diabetes
Chronic alcoholism
Older adults with poor dietary intake
Aside from low blood levels of magnesium (hypomagnesemia), magnesium is also used as a laxative for constipation
and as an antacid for acid indigestion.
It has also been used for treating attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, chronic fatigue
syndrome (CFS), Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, leg cramps during pregnancy, migraines, weak bones, pre menstrual
syndrome (PMS), altitude sickness, urinary incontinence, restless leg syndrome, asthma, hay fever, multiple
sclerosis, and for preventing hearing loss.
Please consult a physician before taking nutritional supplements.
Taking Oral Magnesium Supplements
If the amount of dietary magnesium is not enough to improve low levels to meet the demands to the body, a
supplement could be considered.
Oral supplements combine magnesium with another substance such as a salt, to form magnesium oxide, magnesium
sulfate, magnesium chloride, magnesium citrate and magnesium carbonate.
Some companies also combine magnesium with calcium in different proportions.
