What type and amount of Magnesium supplement is needed for bone health
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 9 minutes ago | Replies (26)Comment receiving replies
@kathleen1314 Hi again, Kathleen. I take a product called Calm which contains 325 mg of magnesium citrate per scoop, and I take almost 2 scoops nightly.
I also take Mounjaro, which has the side effect of backing you up, a problem I never experienced before, hence the need for Calm.
Can you please tell me if you know if almost 600 mg is too much in terms of bone health? TIA

I think that this amount would need to be evaluated in context with your entire medical history. This is best done by you and your doctor.
Ai does say this:
A total daily intake of 600 mg of magnesium is generally considered high, and taking this amount from supplements alone exceeds the recognized safe upper limit of 350 mg per day for adults. While magnesium is crucial for bone health—with some studies indicating that higher doses (400–800 mg) can support bone density in postmenopausal women—consuming 600 mg in supplements can cause side effects.
