Robin are you saying 800 mg magnesium a day? 800 is not too much?:e:
Wow this is old, but I just caught it today.
Eve, if you are still interested... no this is not too much for us.
People who have impaired kidney function are at the greatest risk for magnesium overdose. Even a moderate magnesium overdose may cause a drop in blood pressure in those with kidney disease. Other possible serious symptoms include difficulty breathing, muscle weakness, and mental confusion. Serious cases of magnesium overdose may cause cardiac arrest.
