Should Magnesium and Vitamin D be taken together?

Quelle: NBR (Glomex)

Taking magnesium can actually enhance the effects of vitamin D, as it helps convert vitamin D into its active form. A magnesium deficiency, on the other hand, can impair the function of vitamin D. However, as with all dietary supplements, one should consider individual health circumstances, potential interactions with other medications, and the correct dosage. An overdose is also possible with vitamin D, as stated by the Robert Koch Institute. This could lead to elevated calcium levels. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a doctor or a qualified nutritionist before starting to take vitamin D or magnesium.
