Side Effect 2. Nausea and Vomiting
Excessive magnesium levels can also lead to nausea and vomiting. As magnesium levels rise in the body, the gastrointestinal system becomes irritated, causing these unpleasant symptoms. The body’s natural response to this irritation is to expel the excess magnesium through vomiting.
Nausea and vomiting can be exacerbated by other factors, such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or interactions with medications. To minimize these symptoms, it’s crucial to ensure proper hydration and discuss any potential medication interactions with your healthcare provider.
If you experience persistent nausea and vomiting after increasing your magnesium intake, it’s vital to consult a healthcare professional. They can help determine the cause of your symptoms and recommend appropriate adjustments to your magnesium intake. (2)
