Very true. Drs understanding of magnesium is what vitamin D was in the 1990s.
I agree that most supplements are overrated unless you've got a serious health problem. Then they become very useful but it's hard and expensive to figure out what works. A high quality protein with magnesium does wonders as well. Amino acids are required to build a lot of important things in the body.
Most of the time you're better off just eating more bioavailable foods. The risks are more well-known.
The only exception is magnesium. It really does seem like everybody should supplement or get a blood test, since deficiency is so common.
It can also be the source of random panic attacks, especially if you're particularly stressed.
My sister had this issue for a while until she started taking epsom salt baths and discovered it basically made her random panic attacks disappear.
