From supplement watch...
A few studies have suggested a potential role for magnesium supplements in energy metabolism by showing an increased exercise efficiency in endurance athletes. In general, however, there is no overwhelming evidence to suggest any increases in muscular strength or boosted energy levels following magnesium supplementation.
Safety- Excessive magnesium intake can cause diarrhea and general gastrointestinal distress as well as interfere with calcium absorption and bone metabolism. Since there are no known benefits associated with consuming more than 600 mg per day of magnesium, higher intakes should be avoided.



. Would it be unsafe to take 2 or even 3 servings of this stuff pwo? (1200mg magnesium seems quite excessive). Should i supplement calcium too?
