Short answer

We found no documented interaction between Magnesium and Quercetin in the sources below. That isn't proof the combination is right for you: check each one's cautions, and ask your pharmacist if you take medication.

Magnesium

What it is: An essential mineral the body uses for muscle and nerve function, blood sugar and blood pressure control, and making protein, bone and DNA.

What the research says: Supplements may lower blood pressure slightly. People who get more magnesium from food tend to have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, and it matters for bone health.

Cautions

• Adults shouldn't take more than 350 mg a day from supplements unless a clinician advises it.
• Too much from supplements can cause diarrhea, nausea and stomach cramps.

Medicines to check

• Osteoporosis medicines (bisphosphonates) and some antibiotics: take them apart from magnesium
• Diuretics
• Long-term acid-reflux or ulcer medicines can lower magnesium levels

Quercetin

What it is: A plant compound found in apples, onions and tea; the most common flavonoid in the diet.

What the research says: It hasn't been shown to treat any disease. Its anti-inflammatory effects come from lab studies; in athletes, any performance benefits were small.

Cautions

• No side effects were seen in athletes taking about 1,000 mg a day, but it hasn't been studied enough to know it's safe.

Medicines to check

• Some prescription drugs processed by the liver: it may increase their side effects (lab data)
• Losartan (a blood-pressure drug) and tamoxifen: animal or lab data only
