While magnesium is an essential mineral that our bodies need for a variety of functions, taking too much of it can result in unwanted symptoms. Some possible side effects of taking magnesium supplements include diarrhea, nausea, decreased appetite, and abdominal cramping. Additionally, taking high doses of magnesium can lead to more serious complications like irregular heartbeat and low blood pressure. If you experience any symptoms, discontinue use and consult a GP (WebMD.).
