Can I take Black cohosh and Magnesium together?

Why this happens

Black cohosh and magnesium are processed by the body through different pathways. Black cohosh is primarily broken down by the liver, while magnesium is an essential mineral absorbed in the intestines and filtered by the kidneys. They do not interfere with each other's absorption or effectiveness.

What you should do

You can safely take these two supplements together. However, always follow the dosage instructions on the product labels. If you have pre-existing liver conditions (relevant to black cohosh) or kidney issues (relevant to magnesium), it is best to consult your GP or a pharmacist before starting new supplements.
