Magnesium supplementation and blood pressure regulation

Overview

Research indicates that magnesium supplementation can play a significant role in regulating blood pressure. By acting as a natural calcium antagonist and working in exchange with sodium to relax artery wall muscles, magnesium helps normalize heart rate and reduce resistance for the heart.

Studies, including a review in the journal Hypertension, suggest that daily intake of approximately 360 to 368 milligrams over three months is associated with modest decreases in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Some data indicates that daily doses of 10 to 20 mmol can achieve an average diastolic reduction of up to 10 mmHg.

The effectiveness of such supplementation is heavily dependent on bioavailability. Organic compounds, such as magnesium citrate, glycinate, or malate, are absorbed more efficiently by the body than inorganic forms like magnesium oxide.
