Does magnesium supplementation help with hot flushes?

Some women report reduced hot flushes with magnesium supplements, but current research does not strongly support its use specifically for menopause symptoms.

Clinical Context

Women considering magnesium supplements should check with their GP, especially if taking other medications or with kidney problems. It is best to get magnesium through a balanced diet.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NICE currently does not recommend magnesium for menopause symptoms due to limited evidence, but supports a balanced diet for overall wellbeing. See NICE menopause guidance.
