What is the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of magnesium?


RDAs for magnesium are 420 and 320 mg/day for men and women, respectively. You might consume this amount of magnesium by eating three ounces of halibut, a cup of spinach, and a serving of rice. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for magnesium is 350 mg/day for adults. This UL is unusual because it is actually similar to or less than the established RDA values. This is because the UL does not apply to magnesium obtained from foods-only that obtained from supplemental and medicinal forms.
