Many of our customers incorporate magnesium-based supplements into their routine to support health and performance goals. If you're taking both Magnesium Malate and Magnesium L-Threonate, you might be wondering about overlapping doses and whether adjustments are necessary. This guide provides insight into how to manage your magnesium intake when combining multiple forms.
Understanding Magnesium Forms
- Magnesium Malate – Often used to support athletic performance and energy production, this form combines magnesium with malic acid, which may enhance absorption and support muscle function and endurance.
- Magnesium L-Threonate – Known for its cognitive benefits, this form is associated with improved sleep quality and brain health. It contains threonic acid, which may help magnesium cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively.
Recommended Magnesium Dosage
- General Guideline – It is typically recommended to take 5-10 mg of magnesium per kilogram of body weight daily, with a general upper limit of 400 mg per day.
- Safe Intake with Both Supplements – If taking both Magnesium L-Threonate and Magnesium Malate, the total magnesium intake is 365 mg per day, which is within the recommended range and generally considered safe.
