When to take magnesium really depends on what you're hoping it will help with. There's no single "right" time, but here are some general guidelines that may help:
- For constipation or relaxation: Taking magnesium citrate at bedtime may help, as one MyParkinsonsTeam member shared it helped them relax and sleep better while also easing constipation.
- For muscle cramps: Taking it consistently each day, at a time that fits your routine, may help manage cramping.
- For general supplementation: With food is often recommended to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Before starting magnesium, there are a few important cautions to keep in mind:
- Always check with your doctor first, as magnesium can interact with certain medications.
- Too much magnesium over time can be harmful, especially if your kidneys aren't functioning at their best.
- The FDA doesn't regulate supplements as strictly as medications, so product quality can vary.
Your doctor can also check your magnesium levels to see if a supplement is even needed in the first place.
