    What to know

    The number on the front of a magnesium label is often the weight of the whole compound. The figure that matters is elemental magnesium in the supplement facts panel. The upper level for magnesium from supplements in Australia is 350 mg a day for adults, not counting food. Glycinate is the gentlest form. Malate and citrate are well absorbed but more likely to loosen the bowels. Magtein supplies a small amount of magnesium and is studied for different reasons.

    Who should check first

    • Taking medication: take magnesium and calcium at least two hours apart from antibiotics, thyroid medicine and osteoporosis medicine.
