4. Allergic Reactions: A Rare but Serious Concern
Although uncommon, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to magnesium glycinate. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include itching, rash, hives, swelling of the face or throat, and difficulty breathing. If you suspect you’re experiencing an allergic reaction to magnesium glycinate, it’s crucial to discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.
To avoid this potentially severe side effect, consider starting with a small dose of magnesium glycinate to test for any allergic reaction. If you’re concerned about your risk for an allergic reaction, consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplementation. (4)
