Migraine. Magnesium supplements prevent migraines. A randomized controlled trial has shown that supplementation with magnesium diminished the risk of migraines by 40% in migraine patients who took magnesium supplements at a dose of 600 mg daily for 12 weeks.
• Hearing loss. Magnesium supplements prevent hearing loss induced by noise. One randomized controlled trial has shown that magnesium supplementation decreases noise-induced hearing loss in participants who take daily magnesium supplements at a dose of 200 mg.
• Angina. Magnesium supplements may mitigate certain symptoms associated with angina. The consumption of magnesium supplements at a daily dose of 350 mg for six months made it easier for angina patients to perform daily tasks.
• Menstruation. Magnesium supplements prevent menstrual migraines, premenstrual syndrome, and menstrual pain. The recommended daily dose is 400 mg of magnesium chloride taken every day starting three days before the beginning of menstruation.
• Antacid activity. Magnesium can be used as an antacid agent. The recommended daily dose is 100 mg of magnesium chloride for patients with stomach hyperacidity.
• Other diseases. Magnesium supplements can help treat hypertension, kidney stones, and throbbing pain in the feet during pregnancy. The recommended daily dose is 200 mg of magnesium chloride.
• Intravenous injections. Intravenous injections of magnesium ions under a physician’s supervision can be used to treat acute asthma, atrial fibrillation, drug overdose, diabetic ketoacidosis, pancreatitis, hyperthyroidism, and hepatitis.
Safety Issues
• Side effects. People who take high doses of magnesium supplements may experience side effects that include stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Avoid taking magnesium supplements above the daily upper limit of 350 mg.
• Overdose. High doses of magnesium supplements may lead to exceedingly high blood levels of magnesium, particularly in patients with kidney disease, causing hypotension, fatigue, and atrial fibrillation.
• Zinc supplement. High doses of zinc supplements may interfere with the absorption of magnesium by the intestines.
What Types of Drugs May Interact with Magnesium?
• Antacid drugs. Antacid drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors, reduce the blood level of magnesium. Long-term antacid drug users should consider taking magnesium supplements. Studies have shown that in spite of taking magnesium supplements, about 25% of long-term antacid users still had a problem with low blood levels of magnesium and needed to discontinue taking proton pump inhibitors.
• Other drugs. Digoxin (a heart disease drug), antibiotic tetracycline, oral anticoagulants, and diuretics interfere with the absorption of magnesium by the intestines.
