Re: upper limit for magnesium (supplements)

It's recommended to get no more than 350mg of magnesium in supplement form -

more can have a laxative effect eg. milk of magnesia.

MOM is not the best but it is cheap and will do in a pinch while waiting on

supplement shipment, bad weather, and all the other snafus that can happen for

those of use dependent on USPS and air shipments..

Granted, but just for clarification I was just answering the initial question -

what is the upper limit for magnesium in supplement form.

 

The National Academy of Sciences set a tolerable upper limit (UL) on intake of

magnesium at 350 milligrams per day for individuals 9 years and older. This

limit was restricted, however, to magnesium obtained from dietary supplements,

and no upper limit was set on intake of magnesium from food sources.

 

Obviously I wouldn't consider MOM a supplement.

I think if you look cafefully and read ant very well it is about 1600 mg in 2

tablespoons. A teaspoon will cover any magnisuim supplemental needs and not

cause distress. It is also avery good antiacid.
