| Usage | |
| What is the dosage? | For common magnesium inadequacy, our recommended dosage is 2 capsules daily with 8 oz of water or juice. If desired, capsules can be opened and powder added to any food or beverage. Overall, magnesium is considered safe to take, but large amounts can cause GI upset and diarrhea in some people. Go with your healthcare provider's recommendation and listen to your body. Some people find it beneficial to start with one capsule (250 mg) and work up to 2 capsules (500 mg). If you are severely magnesium deficient or have other health considerations, your healthcare practitioner may recommend an even higher dose than the 2 capsules. Please work with your doctor to determine the optimal dose for you. Advanced Use: For improved sleep take full dosage 30 minutes before bed. Otherwise, split dose and take one in AM and PM |

Should magnesium be taken separate from medication? |
Certain medications can interact with magnesium and become more or less effective.

What is the best time of day to take Magnesium 7? |
There is no one best time to take magnesium. The real benefits from magnesium supplementation come from correcting an inadequacy/deficiency and this is not time dependent. That being said, many people find it beneficial to space out their magnesium dosage by taking one capsule in the morning to support energy levels and another before bed to capitalize on magnesium's ability to boost GABA levels for improved sleep and muscle relaxation. However, if you find it more beneficial to take both capsules n the morning, afternoon, or evening, that is a personal preference. If you are taking any medication or have pre-existing health conditions, consult with your doctor before taking Magnesium 7. |
