coconut water is supposed to be a great source of magnesium, but it contains nearly as much calcium, and they “fight” each other to get absorbed.
so, do we actually absorb the magnesium from coconut water?
It contains relatively small amounts of each mineral, so your intestines should have plenty of transporters for them. Competition between nutrients is really only a concern when you’re supplementing large amounts of a particular nutrient on a daily basis.
