How much magnesium should you include in your daily regimen? It’s involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, impacting everything from your energy levels to how well you sleep at night. But the question remains: how much do you really need to support your health during menopause?
How Much Magnesium Do You Need?
The daily recommended intake varies, but generally, women aged 50 and above should aim for about 320 mg per day. However, needs can vary based on individual health conditions and dietary intake.
To find out the right amount for your needs, begin with a small dosage and adjust gradually. Monitor how you feel—improvements in sleep, mood stabilization, and general well-being are indicators that your intake is on point.
If you suspect you’re low, especially during menopause, it’s a common concern. Talk to your healthcare provider to discuss the appropriate level for you and discover the best ways to maintain adequate levels through diet or supplements.
