If you are taking both Magnesium Malate and Magnesium L-Threonate, you might have concerns about overlapping doses and whether adjustments are necessary. This article provides guidance on managing your magnesium intake when using multiple supplements.
Magnesium Malate: Often used to support athletic performance and energy production. It combines magnesium with malic acid, which can enhance absorption and provide additional benefits related to muscle function and endurance.
Magnesium Threonate: Known for its cognitive benefits, this form of magnesium is associated with improved sleep quality and brain health. It is a combination of magnesium and threonic acid, which may enhance magnesium's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Recommended Magnesium Dosage
- General Guideline: It is generally recommended to take between 5-10 mg of magnesium per kilogram of body weight daily and/or under 400 mg/day. For most people, this translates to a safe intake of magnesium when using both supplements.
