[sSRI-Research] Usual dosage of magnesium insupplement form is 200-600

mg/day

 

Researchers estimated dietary magnesium intake in 2,633 adults

living in Nottingham, England. Individuals who ingested the most

magnesium had a lower incidence of wheezing and more efficient

flow of air through the bronchial passages than did those with

lower magnesium intakes. The bronchi of people who consumed

high-magnesium diets were also less likely to go into spasm when

provoked.

 

Unfortunately, the typical American diet, which is high in

refined sugar, fat, and processed foods, provides only about

two-thirds of the Recommended Dietary Allowance of magnesium.

And, ironically, some of the drugs used to treat asthma can

cause magnesium depletion.

 

But if you have asthma, taking magnesium supplements may be able

to help ease your symptoms. The usual dosage of magnesium in

supplement form is 200-600 mg/day.
