A good look at one’s diet should really always be done before taking supplements.

A good balanced diet should provide all you need.

If you are on any medication, don't take extra magnesium without consulting your doctor, as they may interact.

"Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral that helps:
turn the food we eat into energy;
make sure the parathyroid glands, which produce hormones important for bone health, work normally

Good sources of magnesium
Magnesium is found in a wide variety of foods, including:
spinach; nuts; wholemeal bread

How much magnesium do I need?
The amount of magnesium you need is:
300mg a day for men (19 to 64 years)
270mg a day for women (19 to 64 years)

What happens if I take too much magnesium?
Taking high doses of magnesium (more than 400mg) for a short time can cause diarrhoea.
There's not enough evidence to say what the effects might be of taking high doses of magnesium for a long time

What does the Department of Health and Social Care advise?

You should be able to get all the magnesium you need by eating a varied and balanced diet.
If you take magnesium supplements, do not take too much as this could be harmful.
Having 400mg or less a day of magnesium from supplements is unlikely to cause any harm.

Does anyone on here take these tablets and if you do how long did it take before you noticed any difference?
