Magnesium Intake Reference
RDA by sex with a realistic food-gap counter — the quietly under-eaten mineral.
Population surveys put typical intake ~30% under the RDA because magnesium lives in exactly the foods refined diets drop — bran, legumes, nuts, seeds. Pumpkin seeds (150 mg/30 g), almonds, rajma and bajra are efficient closers. Supplement forms differ: citrate/glycinate absorb well; oxide mostly doesn't.
