✔️ Uses of Life Extension Magnesium Caps 500mg

Magnesium can be used in various ways to address different conditions:

• Bowel preparation: Taking magnesium orally helps prepare the bowel for medical procedures.
• Constipation: Oral magnesium acts as a laxative to relieve constipation.
• Indigestion (dyspepsia): Magnesium is taken orally as an antacid and can alleviate symptoms of heartburn and indigestion. Magnesium hydroxide is known to work quickly in this regard.
• Seizures in women with eclampsia: Intravenous or injectable magnesium is the preferred treatment for eclampsia, effectively reducing the risk of seizures.
• Low blood magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia): Magnesium supplements can be taken to treat and prevent magnesium deficiency, which can occur due to various conditions such as liver disorders, heart failure, vomiting or diarrhea, kidney dysfunction, and others.
• Pre-eclampsia: Intravenous or injectable magnesium is the preferred treatment for preventing seizures in females with pre-eclampsia. However, taking magnesium orally does not appear to reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia in healthy adults.

✔️ Benefits of Life Extension Magnesium Caps 500mg

Cardiovascular health & blood pressure

• Magnesium helps relax the smooth muscles within blood vessels, which supports peripheral vascular resistance and encourages healthy cardiovascular function and blood flow. Magnesium promotes a healthy inflammatory response and healthy endothelial function and helps inhibit oxidative stress to support cardiovascular health.
• Magnesium also helps maintain already-healthy blood pressure levels.

Brain & nervous system health

• Magnesium plays an important role in the nervous system and helps support healthy brain function. Magnesium can also modulate the signaling of serotonin and other neurotransmitters, and adequate magnesium intake may promote a healthy mood.

Bone health & density

• Magnesium, along with calcium and other minerals, is an essential component of a healthy bone matrix. A well-mineralized bone matrix helps maintain strong, healthy bones.

Metabolic health & more

• Magnesium intake also promotes a wide range of healthy metabolic factors, serum lipid profiles, and more. Magnesium helps protect against oxidative stress, as well.

✔️ Side Effects of Life Extension Magnesium Caps 500mg

When magnesium is taken orally, it is generally considered safe for most individuals when taken in appropriate doses. Most adults can safely consume doses below 350 mg daily. However, some individuals may experience stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or other minor side effects when taking magnesium. It is important to note that when taken in excessively high amounts (greater than 350 mg daily), magnesium can potentially be unsafe. Large doses can lead to an excessive accumulation of magnesium in the body, which may cause severe side effects such as irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, confusion, slowed breathing, coma, and even death.

✔️ Interaction

Major Interaction:

• Levodopa/Carbidopa (Sinemet): Taking magnesium oxide with levodopa/carbidopa may reduce the effectiveness of levodopa/carbidopa. Avoid taking magnesium oxide if you are using levodopa/carbidopa.

Moderate Interactions:

• Antibiotics (Aminoglycoside, Quinolone, and Tetracycline antibiotics): Magnesium may interact with these antibiotics and cause muscle problems or reduce their effectiveness. It is recommended to take magnesium supplements at least 2 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after taking these antibiotics.
• Bisphosphonates: Magnesium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, so it is advisable to take bisphosphonates at least two hours before or after taking magnesium.
• Medications for high blood pressure (Calcium channel blockers): Taking magnesium along with calcium channel blockers can potentially lower blood pressure too much. Caution is advised.
• Muscle relaxants: Combining magnesium with muscle relaxants may increase the risk of side effects associated with muscle relaxants.
• Water pills (Potassium-sparing diuretics): Some water pills can increase magnesium levels in the body. Taking magnesium supplements along with these water pills may lead to excessively high magnesium levels.

Minor Interaction:

• Sevelamer (Renagel, Renvela): Taking sevelamer along with a magnesium supplement can increase magnesium levels in the body. It is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before taking magnesium supplements if you are using sevelamer.

It is important to note that this is not an exhaustive list of interactions, and it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before combining medications or supplements.

✔️ Contraindications

• Children: Magnesium is LIKELY SAFE for most children when taken by mouth appropriately or when the prescription-only, injectable product is used correctly. Magnesium is safe when taken by mouth in doses less than 65 mg for children 1-3 years, 110 mg for children 4-8 years, and 350 mg for children older than 8 years. Magnesium is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in higher doses
• Alcoholism: Alcohol abuse increases the risk of magnesium deficiency.
• Bleeding disorders: Magnesium seems to slow blood clotting. In theory, taking magnesium might increase the risk of bleeding or bruising in people with bleeding disorders.
• Diabetes: Diabetes increases the risk of magnesium deficiency. Poorly controlled diabetes reduces how much magnesium the body absorbs.
• Heart block: High doses of magnesium (typically delivered by IV) should not be given to people with heart block.
• A condition called myasthenia gravis: Magnesium given intravenously (by IV) might worsen weakness and cause breathing difficulties in people with a condition called myasthenia gravis.
• Kidney problems, such as kidney failure: Kidneys that don't work well have trouble clearing magnesium from the body. Taking extra magnesium can cause magnesium to build up to dangerous levels. Don't take magnesium if you have kidney problems.

• Do not exceed recommended dosage
• When using nutritional supplements, please consult with your physician if you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating
