If you’re making these common magnesium mistakes, they could be the reason your magnesium isn’t working.

Magnesium glycinate dosage doesn’t always reflect the amount of elemental magnesium you’re actually getting from your supplement. It’s critical to understand how to read the label so you can make sure you’re getting the proper dose.

The RDA for magnesium is 310–420 mg, and many clinical trials showing magnesium benefits use dosages around 400–500 mg. If it seems like magnesium isn’t working for you, make sure you’re taking enough.

Magnesium absorption also plays a role. If you’re not absorbing magnesium properly, you won’t experience its full benefits. You need adequate stomach acid to absorb magnesium. Gut inflammation and even genetics can also affect magnesium absorption.

If you’re doing everything right and still not experiencing any magnesium benefits, you may just need to give it more time!
