Does Magnesium Help You Lose Belly Fat?
Here are some foods you can gobble up for the most magnesium:
If you know your diet isn’t cutting it, you can find magnesium supplements at major retailers, like Wal-Mart and Target, drug stores, or Amazon.
PSA: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not check the safety or effectiveness of dietary supplements, so it’s important to choose a reputable brand that undertakes third-party testing to prove the purity and quality of their products.
For some, magnesium supplements may cause a few unsavory side effects, including diarrhea, stomach upset, or cramping.
Remember that there are many forms of magnesium. Vukasinov points out that magnesium citrate or magnesium oxide can have a laxative effect (yikes).
Be sure you’re taking the best dose based on your RDA, and consider taking it with a meal to better avoid side effects.
