Magnesium is generally safe for healthy adults, but impaired kidney function changes the equation significantly. If you have kidney disease, this information is critical.
Healthy kidneys regulate magnesium levels by excreting excess in urine. When kidney function is impaired (reduced GFR), magnesium can accumulate to dangerous levels (hypermagnesemia).
Nausea, facial flushing, low blood pressure, muscle weakness, difficulty breathing and in severe cases, cardiac arrest. These risks are real for individuals with advanced kidney disease.
Our formula contains 80mg of Magnesium Glycinate. While this is a modest dose, individuals with kidney disease (especially Stages 3 to 5 CKD) should consult their nephrologist before taking any magnesium-containing supplement including Lungora.
