Is magnesium citrate hard on the kidneys?

Is magnesium citrate hard on the kidneys?

This week, we received a great question: "Is magnesium citrate hard on the kidneys?"

I can guess where this question is coming from. Every time we discuss how much magnesium you can take in a day, we mention taking it until bowel tolerance. However, if you have a kidney disorder, you should not do this and should avoid supplementing with magnesium altogether. This often leads people to believe that magnesium is hard on the kidneys, but that’s actually a misconception.

In reality, your kidneys naturally process magnesium as part of your normal body functions. The issue arises when you have a kidney condition, and your kidneys cannot filter magnesium properly. This can lead to elevated magnesium levels in the blood. While high magnesium in the blood may cause muscle weakness, it doesn’t directly harm the kidneys.

So, is magnesium citrate safe for your kidneys? The answer is yes — magnesium citrate is not harmful to the kidneys for healthy individuals. Your kidneys will filter the magnesium, and any excess magnesium will be expelled through your bowels. Our flagship product, MAG365 Ionic Magnesium Citrate Powder, is safe for most people. We recommend adjusting the dosage based on your diet and lifestyle, taking as much as your body can tolerate.

As mentioned, your kidneys will naturally filter out magnesium, and whatever your body can’t use will be eliminated through your bowels. If you are concerned about digestive issues, you can gradually increase your dose until you reach bowel tolerance. For a gentler option, we also offer PrizMAG Magnesium Bisglycinate Capsules, which are absorbed through the small intestine, offering a smoother experience for those sensitive to magnesium’s effects on the digestive system.
