🧬 Tailored Supplementation: When and How to Take What

Many people take supplements to correct deficiencies — but timing, combinations, and personal needs matter just as much as the supplement itself. Here’s a quick-reference guide to managing magnesium, zinc, folate, and more for specific conditions and health goals.

🔹 Magnesium-Related Tips

1. Constipation Support

🔹 Digestive Health

8. Chronic Diarrhea
