How can the absorption of magnesium be increased in the body?

Increasing magnesium absorption can be effectively supported by using bitter herbs or vinegar with meals. These substances often stimulate the production of digestive fluids and enhance the efficiency of digestion and nutrient absorption. Bitter herbs are known to activate taste receptors in the mouth which can initiate digestive enzyme release from the salivary glands and pancreas, further aiding digestion.

Vinegar, particularly apple cider vinegar, can increase gastric acidity, which may lead to improved mineral absorption in the intestines, including magnesium. This enhanced acidic environment supports the solubility of minerals, making them more available for absorption in the gut.

While other options may have various health benefits, they do not specifically target or enhance magnesium absorption in the same direct manner as the use of bitters or vinegar.
