My husband has had a bout of back spasms that can leave him struggling to even get out of bed. Luckily, your magnesium levels can be replenished via foods.
According to Down, these are the best magnesium-rich food sources:. The Recommended Dietary Allowance RDA , or the average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all healthy individuals, for magnesium varies by age, sex, and other factors. The RDA for women who aren't pregnant or breast feeding is mg for ages , mg for age 31 and older.
The RDA for men is mg for ages , mg for age 31 and older. Adults, however, should be careful not to exceed the upper limit for magnesium in dietary supplements, which is mg. High intakes of magnesium from dietary supplements and medications can cause diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramping. Extremely high intakes of magnesium can lead to irregular heartbeat and cardiac arrest, according to the National Institutes of Health. In medications and vitamins, its primary purpose is to act as a lubricant.
It helps improve the consistency and quality control of medication capsules. Magnesium stearate is generally recognized as safe to consume. If you ingest too much, it can have a laxative effect. It can irritate the mucosal lining of your bowels. This causes your bowels to spasm, triggering a bowel movement or even diarrhea. Some people on the internet claim that magnesium stearate suppresses your immune T-cell function and causes the cell membrane integrity in your helper T cells to collapse.
These claims have been made based on a single mouse study that was related to stearic acid, not magnesium stearate. Mice lack an enzyme in their T cells that humans have. This makes stearic acid safe for us to ingest. Some people report having negative reactions to magnesium stearate and feel much better when they eliminate it. These people might have a sensitivity to it.
Magnesium glycinate is a gentle form for individuals who are sensitive to magnesium oxide or citrate, as it is less likely to cause a laxative effect.
Another gentle form for those sensitive to magnesium oxide or citrate is magnesium malate. In summary, choosing the appropriate form of magnesium is a balance between the desired dose of elemental magnesium, how many capsules the individual is comfortable taking, and understanding any wanted or unwanted effects the mineral may have on the digestive system.
