Questions, answered.

Is 420 mg from a supplement too much?
The NIH sets an upper limit of 350 mg a day for magnesium from supplements and medications for adults, not counting food. Above that, diarrhea, nausea and cramping become more likely. Follow the label, consider a smaller serving and ask your doctor what is right for you.
Why six forms instead of one?
Different magnesium forms are bound to different partners, such as glycine, citrate or malate. A blend spreads the dose across several of them.
When should I take it?
Follow the label. Many people make it an evening drink as part of their wind-down routine.
What is it sweetened with?
Stevia leaf extract and monk fruit extract.
Can I take it with medication?
Magnesium can interact with some medicines, including certain antibiotics and osteoporosis drugs. Ask your doctor or pharmacist first.
