What it is
- Magnesium taurate pairs magnesium with the amino acid taurine. We found no human trials of this specific form for stress or mood on PubMed.[NIH Office of Dietary Supplements][PubMed]
Safety and interactions
- The NIH upper limit for magnesium from supplements is 350 mg a day for adults; higher doses commonly cause diarrhea, nausea and abdominal cramping.[NIH Office of Dietary Supplements]
- Magnesium can reduce the absorption of some antibiotics (tetracyclines, quinolones) and bisphosphonates, so the NIH advises spacing the doses apart.[NIH Office of Dietary Supplements]
Supplements can interact with medicines. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you are pregnant, take prescription medicine, or have red-flag symptoms. See supplement safety and interactions.
