According to a chart I found online, the USRDA for magnesium is 400mg. I would definitely not go any higher than that. You should also consider taking calcium - not only because we women need it, but because it balances out the effects of magnesium. There's a little more info about calcium and magnesium here.

The peppermint, I have to admit, I'm not really sure about, because I've never taken the capsules - I've only used peppermint tea as needed. Hopefully someone else will come along who knows more about that, or you could try doing a board search for "maximum peppermint dosage" or something similar, because I know this has come up before, I just can't put my finger on when.
