Daily How Much

Most adults start with 1,000 mg magnesium L-threonate (≈75 mg elemental magnesium) taken 1–2 hours before bed for three weeks.

Most adults can safely get magnesium from food plus up to 350 mg/day from supplements; higher doses need medical guidance.

For anxiety, adults should keep supplemental magnesium ≤350 mg/day; higher amounts need clinician oversight.
