Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for women, and one of the easiest to come up short on. It supports muscles, energy production, bones and a calm evening routine. Here's what women should know.
Why magnesium matters for women
- Energy. Magnesium is needed to turn food into usable energy.*
- Muscles. It supports normal muscle function and relaxation, helpful if you're active or feel tense.*
- Bones. Magnesium works alongside calcium and vitamin D to support healthy bones.*
- Evening relaxation. Many women take magnesium as part of a wind-down routine before bed.*
How much magnesium do women need?
According to the NIH, adult women need about 310–320 mg of magnesium per day from all sources (350–360 mg during pregnancy). Good food sources include pumpkin seeds, almonds, spinach, black beans, avocado and dark chocolate. Even so, many women fall short.
For supplements, the NIH sets 350 mg per day as the upper limit for most adults. A 200 mg capsule is a common starting point. Check with your doctor before taking more.
Which form should women choose?
Magnesium glycinate (bisglycinate) is a popular choice for daily and evening routines. Other common forms include citrate and oxide. Whatever you pick, look for a label that clearly lists every form and the total magnesium per serving.
