Expert Positions
The Verdict
4 of 5 experts actively recommend magnesium supplementation. Patrick and Hyman are the strongest advocates, each discussing it across multiple videos. Attia recommends 300-500mg daily for bone health and personally supplements with three forms. Johnson's Blueprint stack does not explicitly include magnesium.
Where They Disagree
Patrick cautions that magnesium threonate is a poor source for meeting daily RDA due to low elemental content — while the broader supplement community promotes it as a primary magnesium source.
Attia favors magnesium carbonate for best absorption and notes it's better absorbed than oxide, citrate, or glycinate — which contrasts with Patrick's recommendation of glycinate and malate.
