Is it possible to take magnesium continuously? answered the doctor from Pirogov University.

      One of the most frequently mentioned minerals that are indicated for improving sleep and strengthening the nerves is magnesium. It is recommended in pharmacies for people with frequent headaches. Therefore, for those who are already taking magnesium, it will surely be important to know whether breaks in its intake are necessary.

      Can magnesium be taken continuously? This question was answered by Andrey Petrovich Kondrakhin, a senior lecturer at the Department of Pharmacology of the Pirogov University Institute of Pharmacy and Medical Chemistry, Ph.D.

      — In general, the intake of any medications, any components is necessary for our body if they are lacking. Therefore, we conclude that if we have reached the normal target levels of certain substances in the body, particularly magnesium, then we should, of course, stop consuming it.

      But it should be noted that magnesium is a very interesting microelement; it is almost always lacking in the body, and it is responsible for stabilizing blood vessels after stress. During stress, blood vessels spasm, and the body releases magnesium into the bloodstream, and this magnesium "relaxes" the vessels. In fact, it is always lacking because we are always under stress.

      So here I would say: yes, magnesium can be taken continuously. It can be in the form of mineral water or as a dietary supplement. If it is lacking, there is a medicinal preparation.
