Key Statements
EFSA clearly distinguishes for the first time between magnesium from food and from supplements:
- Food: No UL established (homeostatic regulation)
- Supplements: UL of 250 mg/day in addition to diet
- Side Effects: Osmotic diarrhea with overdose
Practical Significance
Products with high-dose magnesium (>250 mg) should include warnings about possible digestive issues.
