Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

Based on the query,let me clarify that magnesium regulation is maintained by kidneys. In abscene of their normal functions a restriction of total magnesium intake is needed to avoid magnesium toxicity.

A total of maximum 350mg magnesium is recommended with patients of kidney disease as a maximum upper limmit. More than this will lead to its toxicity.

Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
