\u201cFor example, magnesium citrate<\/a> can be used as a laxative, magnesium glycinate for sleep<\/a>, and magnesium L-threonate for memory<\/a>,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n However, one use involves the joints. \u201cMagnesium stops cartilage from turning into bone and lowers inflammation in the joints<\/a>,\u201d Erik Modlo, MD<\/a>, a functional medicine physician at Cleveland Clinic, told Verywell.\n<\/p>\n Collagen May Improve Joint Mobility and Decrease Pain <\/p>\n Collagen affects your skin and your joints. \u201cCollagen gives the body the structural parts that make the skin more flexible and less painful,\u201d Modlo said.\n<\/p>\n Collagen supplements can boost your health in multiple ways. \u201cSome studies support collagen supplementation in improving skin elasticity<\/a>, improving joint mobility, and decreasing joint pain,\u201d Dieras said.\n<\/p>\n Combining the Two May Offer Extra Benefits <\/p>\n Currently, there is no research showing that taking both magnesium and collagen will boost skin and joint health even more. \u201cStill, both supplements are safe to use together and help skin and joint health in different ways,\u201d Modlo said.\n<\/p>\n Though it\u2019s safe to take magnesium and collagen supplements together, you should make sure you\u2019re taking an appropriate dose. \u201cIt is important to understand all of the ingredients within the products you\u2019re taking to avoid over-consuming a particular nutrient,\u201d Dieras said.\n<\/p>\n You should be careful about collagen supplements, in particular. \u201cThere is additional concern for heavy metals within collagen supplements,\u201d Dieras said.\n<\/p>\n As with any nutrients you\u2019re not getting enough of, it can also be helpful to get more collagen and magnesium through your diet. \u201cWith all of these nutrients, it is best to primarily consume them in whole foods<\/a>,\u201d Dieras said.\n<\/p>\n![\"Maggie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/maggieoneill-16204cf3e01b424bbbd66733f6fb4668.jpeg\")
