Doctor Kondrakhin warned Ryazan about the risks of uncontrolled magnesium intake

Uncontrolled intake of drugs with magnesium can provoke digestive disorder and a drop in blood pressure. This was told by the therapist Andrei Kondrakhin in an interview with IA Regnum.

The expert attributes the popularity of supplements to advertisements positioning magnesium as a remedy for stress. At the same time, the substance is not fully absorbed in tablets, while intravenous administration causes pronounced side effects.

“Magnesium is not very persistent in the body. That's one. Second, it is not all captured from those pills that are sold, said Kondrakhin.

The doctor stressed that the need for the mineral is individual and depends on nutrition and stress. Symptoms like irritability do not always indicate a deficiency, so only a doctor should prescribe supplements.
