Magnesium is one of the supplements I prescribe most often.
It's an essential mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical processes throughout the body, but that doesn't mean we all need to supplement it.
If you're already taking magnesium and not noticing much difference, check the form, elemental dose, and how well you're tolerating it.
If all of that seems right, keep in mind that you may need to look beyond the supplement to understand what's going on in the wider context of your health.
Your supplements should have a good reason for being there.
