Is it safe to take magnesium while on semaglutide or tirzepatide?

Yes, it is generally considered safe and often recommended. GLP-1 medications can change your appetite and digestion, making it harder to get enough minerals from food. Magnesium supports metabolic function and can help maintain muscle comfort during weight loss, making it a foundational part of many physician-supervised plans.
