Why not consume supplements, if sufficient magnesium can not be secured through a healthful diet?

Supplements clearly help raise body stores of magnesium, but many magnesium supplements are poorly absorbed. Poor adsorption is especially true for the older population, the population most impacted by diseases associated with magnesium deficiency. Also, poor absorption is a characteristic of the simple salts of magnesium that also act as laxatives.

Well-absorbed magnesium supplements added to a magnesium-rich diet usually combine to deliver the suggested RDA for magnesium. Well-absorbed supplements include magnesium chelated to an amino acid (for example: magnesium taurate or magnesium glycate) or a Krebs cycle intermediary (for example: magnesium malate, magnesium fumarate, magnesium succinate, magnesium citrate, magnesium pyruviate, etc). When taken with a meal, the more complex magnesium compounds do not normally cause the laxative effect which is common when using simple magnesium salts such as magnesium chloride, magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia), and magnesium sulfate (Epsom’s salts).
