"Magnesium Supplements: A Boost for Weight Loss?"

Magnesium supplements may aid weight loss, especially for those with low magnesium levels, by improving gut health and insulin sensitivity. However, dietitian Jessica G. Anderson emphasizes a "food first" approach, recommending magnesium-rich foods like legumes and dark leafy greens. Supplements can help meet daily magnesium needs but should be part of a broader healthy lifestyle. Always consult a physician before starting supplements, as they can cause side effects and interact with certain medications.
