How much Magnesium should I take?

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for our body.

Magnesium is often used to help soothe anxious symptoms. In fact, a deficiency in magnesium can contribute to having anxious feelings. It has a calming effect on the body and mind. It induces relaxation, helps regulate the nervous system and combats stress, anxiousness, irritability and restlessness.

Most healthy adults need between 300 mg – 400 mg of magnesium per day. But if you take vitamin D supplements or have a vitamin K deficiency, drink alcohol or are consistently under stress, you may need to take more magnesium because those factors affect how your body absorbs and uses magnesium.
