Should You Take Magnesium at Night or Morning?

Abstract Summary

Objective

To assess whether magnesium intake timing affects absorption, tolerance, or functional outcomes.

Context

Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic reactions, influencing energy production, muscle function, and nervous system balance.

Methods Used

Approach

Comparative studies evaluated symptom outcomes based on morning versus evening magnesium intake.

Data Collection

Data included digestive tolerance reports, sleep metrics, stress markers, and adherence rates.

Researchers' Summary of Findings

Impact on Health

Evening intake may support relaxation, while morning intake supports metabolic and neuromuscular function.

Health Implications

Timing should be individualized based on desired outcomes and digestive tolerance.

Sustainability

Flexible timing improves long-term compliance and effectiveness.
