Taking care of your body and providing it with all the nutrients it needs is especially important when you're pregnant; that's why Nature Made offers a wide range of prenatal & postnatal supplements! When putting together a prenatal supplement routine, you may ask, can you take Magnesium while pregnant?
Interest in Magnesium is easy to understand; it's an essential mineral required for more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, and it supports muscle relaxation, nerve function and heart, and bone health. That's a lot of benefits for one mineral! Pregnant people can take Magnesium supplements to fill nutritional gaps; and about half of pregnant women don’t consume enough magnesium in their daily diet.[1] However, it's essential to check with your OBGYN before making any changes to your supplement routine so they can help guide you with personalized advice.†
Magnesium is an essential mineral that our bodies need through all life stages. It's especially important for pregnant people to get keyed in on the recommended intake of vitamins and minerals. Helpfully, the Food and Nutrition Board has put together a guide for Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) of Magnesium for pregnant women of different ages:[2]
They have also provided guidelines for daily Magnesium intake during lactation:[2]
Team Nature Made always recommends taking Magnesium with water and a meal. Try attaching your supplement routine to a regular meal! If you always take your supplements at dinner time, you're more likely to remember to take them, and you ensure you have water and a meal to go with them. Taking Magnesium at dinner can help support muscle relaxation after a long, hard day.†
Nature Made offers a wide range of oral Magnesium supplementation to suit different needs so you can pick the right one for you!

As always, our diet is the best way to provide your body with essential nutrients! Working Magnesium-rich foods into your diet can be healthy and tasty too! Snacking on roasted pumpkin seeds may be an autumnal staple, but they're an excellent source of Magnesium all year round. 1 oz of pumpkin seeds provides 37% of your daily value of Magnesium.
Chia seeds are another Magnesium-rich snack, with 1 oz providing 27%, with 111mg per serving. Some classic health food standbys offer a good dose of Magnesium, with a half cup of boiled spinach containing 80mg of Magnesium and a half cup of cooked black beans offering up 14% of your daily value.
Working these foods into your diet is easy; add some boiled spinach to the blender when making your morning smoothie or toss a handful of roast pumpkin seeds into your salad for a tasty, Magnesium-rich crunch!
Getting personalized health care is essential, especially during pregnancy. Your primary care provider or OBGYN can provide personalized advice and guidance relevant to your body's specific needs, so always consult with them before making any changes to your diet, supplement routine, or other health or lifestyle changes.
Nature Made is committed to offering pregnant people a wide range of support. Our range of Magnesium supplements contains options to suit preferred doses and form factors, and our prenatal vitamins and postnatal supplements are designed to support your journey with nutrients to support the baby's development and your overall health.
