- Take with: Vitamin B6 enhances magnesium absorption
- Start low: Begin with lower doses to avoid digestive upset
Important: If you have kidney disease, heart conditions, or are taking medications,
consult your doctor before supplementing with magnesium. High doses can cause diarrhea and interact
with certain medications.
