How Much Magnesium Do We Really Need?

The Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) for nutrients is the minimal amount needed to avoid deficiency—not the maximum amount required for good health.Ultimately what your body craves to maintain optimal health depends upon a variety of factors including your body type, age, diet, medications, and health. Any one (or all) of these factors determines your risk for magnesium deficiency and could undermine your body’s ability to get the magnesium it needs.
