Diabetes insipidus is a rare disorder that occurs when a person's kidneys pass an abnormally large volume of urine that is insipidâdilute and odorless. In most people, the kidneys pass about 1 to 2 quarts of urine a day. In people with diabetes insipidus, the kidneys can pass 3 to 20 quarts of urine a day.
A RealAge answered. Government guidelines suggest 420 milligrams (mg) per day for men, 320 mg for women. We recommend that both men and women aim to get 400-500 mg of magnesium per day. It may be tough to get all the magnesium you need from food, so top up your daily intake with a multivitamin that contains at least 100 mg of magnesium.
In the United States, however, the average daily magnesium intake is about 320 mg for men and about 230 mg for women, or 24% and 28%, respectively, below the RDAs. A recent study showed that elderly American men and women consume only about 225 and 166 mg/day of magnesium, respectively, or 46% and 48% below the RDAs.or adults aged 31 or older, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine has set the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium at 420 mg/day for men and 320 mg/day for women (for adults aged 19â30, the figures are 400 and 310, respectively).
