Risks of too much magnesium
An overdose of magnesium through dietary sources is unlikely because the body will eliminate any excess magnesium from food through urine.
However, a high intake of magnesium from supplements can lead to gastrointestinal problems, such as diarrhea, nausea, or cramping.
Very large doses will result in further health complications and possibly death.
People with a kidney disorder should not take magnesium supplements unless their doctor advises that they do so.
Magnesium is important for our bodies, however we should get it from food. Supplementation is often not necessary and possibly dangerous, unless prescribed by a doctor.
