Every week in the Ask a Doctor column, I answer readers’ questions about their health. This year your questions focused on a range of topics, including vitamin supplements, bathroom woes and the best skin-care routine. As the year comes to a close, I’ve compiled a list of your favorite topics and the advice I shared.
Should I take a magnesium supplement?
The data on taking a magnesium supplement is underwhelming for some of the purported benefits popularized on social media, including taking magnesium for fatigue and mood symptoms. There are few clear circumstances where magnesium supplementation is warranted, but it’s hard for a doctor like me to give magnesium supplementation an unconditional stamp of approval.
Here is an alternative I can gladly endorse: Eat more magnesium-rich foods. That way, you’ll get the boost of magnesium as well as the other natural benefits of these foods.
