What else can you do?
Generally speaking, a nutritious and balanced diet should provide you with all the minerals you need, but if the tests show that you have a magnesium deficit, you could always take some supplements to improve them. Experts say that people more likely to need dietary supplements are those who suffer from type 2 diabetes, have had bariatric surgery, have atrial fibrillation, and take acid-reducing medications such as proton pump inhibitors.
Don’t forget that a balanced and healthy diet is more effective than any supplements, so be mindful of the things you put on your plate and make sure you move your body regularly.

Hello, Sharon,
I’m so glad you found our article helpful! We’ve got more useful content coming your way, so stay tuned. As for your daily magnesium intake, doctors typically recommend around 310-320 milligrams for adult women and 400-420 milligrams for adult men. But keep in mind, these are just general guidelines. Your doctor may suggest a different amount based on your unique needs. Take care of yourself!
