The U.S. RDA for magnesium is 400mg. I average about 500 mg per day -- half from my vitamin/mineral supplements and the rest from food (I had the DS -- a very distal procedure, so I take "extra" of most supplements). I have my magnesium levels tested along with my other blood work every few months, and they have always been in range and holding steady. Hope this helps.
