Taking more magnesium won't cause a linear drop in your arterial numbers. Learn how the mineral affects vascular tone and why the clinical response is much stronger if you are already on medication. 👇 (link in the comments below)

"Magnesium supplements, this one's getting recommended for everything from sleep to stress to cramps and let's not forget blood pressure and as a certified advanced clinical practitioner it's something many of my patients ask me about these days. So what I've done is I have reviewed a 2025 meta analysis which was published in Hypertension the American Heart Association journal and it basically pulled 38 randomized controlled trials 2,709 participants. The magnesium doses ranged from 82 to 637 milligrams per day with a median dose of 365 milligrams and by the way the median intervention length was around 12 weeks. So the reason I've told you all that is this is not one tiny study it is a serious look across the wider landscape and I'm going to break down the science for you so you know whether you should take magnesium or not."
