Yes. The RDA is 425 mg/day but you should double that. You need to specifically look at the label so you know how many tabs or capsules equal how much mag. If you buy Metagenics brand mag glycinate, take 6-8/day. This is based on 2 tabs equaling about 200 mg.
Be sure that you gradually up your mag doses as any fast increase can cause diarrhea but ultimately you want to level off at about 800 mg. At least until you build your stores up.
Mag is water soluable so you will absorb very little each time and will pee out the rest but ultimately you will absorb it and it’s stored in your bones teeth and tissues.
Mag will also keep your teeth from falling out. When you are deficient in mag your body pulls it from the stores hence weakening of bones and shrinking of teeth.
Graci!
So then I should be working up to and ultimately leveling off at about 1600 mg. calcium/day and 800 mg. magnesium/day because you need to double the amount of calcium compared to magnesium? Oh, I also take 3,000 units Vit. D3 as well. Thanks.
