Many people can get by using 1/2 the RDA...or 200mg a day, of elemental magnesium. I explain elemental on that link.
Magnesium can be depleted by many drugs as well, including alcohol, and caffeine and other diuretic drugs. It is lost in diabetics daily also in the urine. Poor stomach acid may prevent magnesium from being absorbed from food.
From what I have read, it looks like I was taking the wrong form of magnesium. I am going to buy the malate form this evening. It looks like the malate form is more appropriate for me.

I wonder if frequent urinary can deplete magnesium in the body
