Magnesium supplements: what the evidence actually says
Original: Magnesium is essential for health. But can supplements really help with digestion, muscle pain, anxiety and sleep? | Ant
The Guardian examines whether magnesium supplements live up to claims about digestion, muscle pain, anxiety and sleep. Experts cited in the piece say the evidence for supplementing is inconsistent, and warn that taking magnesium without a diagnosed deficiency carries risks and offers unclear benefit. Melissa Davey's report explains what the mineral genuinely does for health and when supplementation may be warranted.
Why now: Magnesium supplements are widely promoted for sleep and anxiety, so readers want to know if the hype is backed by science.
