5 Mistakes Active People Make When Taking Magnesium
If you’re on the move most days, your body leans on magnesium more than you might think.
Your muscles use magnesium to work and to relax, and your cells use it to make energy.¹
One review also found that people who exercise hard may need 10-20% more magnesium.²
So here are 5 common mistakes about taking magnesium, with an easy fix for each.
1. Expecting An Instant Energy Kick
Magnesium is a mineral, with no caffeine or stimulants. So it won’t give you a boost before work.
It works by keeping your levels topped up over time, which supports how your muscles and energy hold up day after day.*
Instead, take it as directed and judge it over weeks.
With our 12-in-1 Magnesium, customers tell us they notice changes in their sleep within 7-14 days, with energy following around week 4.
2. Counting On An Electrolyte Drink To Cover It
Electrolyte drinks are made to replace what you sweat out, so you might think they contain magnesium.
But many of them list sodium and potassium on the label, with little or no magnesium.
Instead, turn the bottle around and read the nutrition panel. If magnesium isn’t listed, your drink isn’t covering it.
3. Doubling Up After A Hard Day
After a long hike or a heavy day in the garden, it’s tempting to take extra.
But more isn’t better here. The National Institutes of Health notes that too much magnesium from supplements can upset your stomach.¹
Instead, it’s best to follow the label directions every day.

4. Skipping It On Rest Days
It seems logical to take magnesium on the days you’re active and leave it on the days you’re not.
But steady levels come from taking it consistently, and your muscles recover on rest days.
Ours is taken after your evening meal, before bed, so dinner is an easy reminder.
5. Copying Someone Else’s Supplement Shelf
A friend who’s always on the go might recommend their own supplement mix.
But their goals, diet, and medication are different from yours. The NIH also notes that magnesium can interact with some medicines, including certain antibiotics.¹
Instead, choose based on your own goal, and if you take prescription medication, have a word with your doctor first.
If you want one magnesium that’s easy to take the right way, try our 12-in-1 Magnesium.
