Well, unless you poison yourself with magnesium, no, nothing would happen. Overdose would result in diarhea.
Quote:
The DRI upper tolerated limit for supplemental magnesium is 350 mg/day (calculated as mg of Mg elemental in the salt). (Supplements based on Amino Acid Chelates, Glycinate, Lysinate etc. are much better tolerated by the digestive system and do not have the side effects of the older compunds used.) The most common symptom of excess oral magnesium intake is diarrhea. Since the kidneys of adult humans excrete excess magnesium efficiently, oral magnesium poisoning in adults with normal renal function, is very rare.
Taken from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium#Compounds_in_living_organisms
I am not taking Natural Calm, but generic Magnesium Citrate and it sais on the bottle that you should not consume more magnesium than 2900 mg per day (that's the magnesium content, not the citrate), it probably sais how much magnesium is contained in a tsp of Natural Calm somewhere on it.
