Indications for use of magnesium chelate
Magnesium is an essential mineral for numerous biological functions, including the proper functioning of muscles and the nervous system. The chelated form of magnesium is considered to offer better absorption compared to other forms of magnesium. Chelated magnesium supplements may be recommended in various situations where there is an increased need for magnesium or if the diet does not provide enough magnesium and a deficiency occurs. If blood tests show that you have a magnesium deficiency, your doctor may recommend supplements to correct this deficiency. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency can include muscle cramps, fatigue, palpitations, muscle spasms and nervous system problems. If you experience such symptoms, it is advisable to consult your doctor. Magnesium supplements are sometimes recommended for their calming effect on the nervous system and in situations of stress or anxiety.
Dosage and administration
Magnesium supplements are taken 1-2 capsules per day, depending on your health, the level of magnesium in your body according to tests and the concentration in the supplement. Follow the doses recommended by your doctor or the doses on the supplement packaging. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Chelated magnesium can be taken with or without food, depending on your preferences or the instructions on the packaging. The duration of treatment depends on the magnesium level in the blood and the body's needs, but a minimum of 3 months is usually recommended.
Contraindications
Magnesium supplements are usually safe and have no contraindications. People with kidney failure should be cautious with magnesium supplements, as excess magnesium is mainly eliminated through the kidneys.
Interactions with other medicines and foods
Magnesium supplements are generally safe. However, certain medications, such as antibiotics and heart medications, may interact with magnesium. It is important to discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor to ensure there are no negative interactions. Excessive consumption of calcium-rich foods may affect magnesium absorption.
