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.

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.

tablespoons for an adult - no mg of Magnesium listed

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.
