Magnesium oxide shows promise against EHEC
We investigated how a macroporous magnesium oxide-templated carbon (MgOC) could help combat Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), a common foodborne threat. MgOC effectively adsorbed harmful Shiga toxins and secretory proteins that contribute to EHEC's virulence while not affecting the bacteria's growth itself. Notably, infected mice treated with MgOC showed an extended survival period. This innovative material didn't harm healthy cells or gut bacteria. However, it also absorbed several antimicrobial agents, suggesting it could be combined with specific antibiotics to improve treatment options against EHEC infections.

We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the effects of magnesium supplementation on insomnia in elderly individuals. Our study involved 46 participants who were assigned either to receive 500 mg of magnesium daily or a placebo for a duration of 8 weeks.
Throughout the study, we employed various questionnaires, including the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), to evaluate the participants' sleep quality both before and after the treatment period. We also monitored the intake of other nutrients and performed blood tests to assess hormone levels related to sleep.
The results showed that magnesium supplementation led to significant improvements in areas such as sleep efficiency, sleep onset timing, and overall insomnia severity. We observed increases in serum levels of melatonin and changes in cortisol and renin levels, indicating a physiological response that could enhance sleep quality.
Overall, it seems that supplementing with magnesium has the potential to improve sleep for older adults struggling with insomnia. This finding could pave the way for new, accessible treatment options for those affected by sleep disorders.

This study looks into how mesoporous magnesium carbonate (MMC) can help with acne by reducing bacteria that thrive on our skin. We used a specific Gram-positive bacterium considered a common culprit in acne lesions. To ensure our results were reliable, we measured bacterial activity using a metabolic assay.
Our findings revealed that MMC exhibits a strong antibacterial effect against this acne-related bacterium. A significant factor contributing to its effectiveness is the material's alkalinity. This suggests that MMC could be developed further as a skincare ingredient aimed at inhibiting bacterial growth, providing an alternative to traditional antibiotic treatments.
Overall, we see promising potential for MMC in topical applications, especially for those looking for non-antibiotic solutions to manage acne and maintain skin health.

Magnesium protects against bone erosion
We delved into the relationship between magnesium levels and gouty arthritis, a condition known for causing painful flare-ups and damaging joint function. Our research focused on measuring serum ionized magnesium levels in a group of 769 patients and assessing how these levels relate to bone erosion, a serious complication of gout.
Our findings revealed that patients experiencing bone erosion had significantly lower magnesium levels compared to those without erosion. When we categorized magnesium levels into quartiles, the data showed that those in the lowest quartile (Q1) were more likely to have bone erosion compared to patients in higher quartiles. In fact, the prevalence of erosion in the lowest magnesium group was much higher, illustrating a clear connection.
Through detailed analysis, we concluded that higher levels of serum ionized magnesium may serve as a protective factor against bone erosion in gouty arthritis. This suggests that magnesium supplementation could be a promising strategy for individuals suffering from this debilitating condition, potentially helping to slow down or prevent further joint damage.

We explored the effectiveness of magnesium sulfate (MS) in relieving low back pain (LBP) for patients who underwent iliac venous stenting. This study involved 97 patients, divided into two groups: one received MS infusion during their surgery, while the other did not.
Patients who received MS experienced significantly lower pain levels at all follow-up intervals. We found that, at 24 hours after surgery, those in the magnesium group consumed much less tramadol—a common pain medication—compared to the control group. Additionally, the need for extra pain relief was lower among those who received magnesium.
Importantly, the side effects like nausea and vomiting were similar in both groups, indicating that magnesium can be a safe option for pain management after this type of surgery. Overall, the findings suggest that magnesium sulfate not only alleviates pain but also reduces reliance on opioids, making it a valuable treatment for postoperative care.

We investigated how choline magnesium trisalicylate (CMT) helps alleviate bone pain in patients with metastatic cancer. In a carefully designed study involving 26 participants, we compared CMT against a placebo in a crossover format, measuring pain relief at multiple intervals after dosing.
While we observed a significant reduction in pain just one hour post-treatment with CMT, other comparisons showed improvements that didn't reach statistical significance. This suggested that CMT might assist in managing bone pain, potentially complementing traditional opioids, but overall effectiveness is still under exploration.

We set out to understand how magnesium sulphate influences the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In a study involving 20 IBS patients, magnesium sulphate was administered orally, resulting in a quick boost in colonic motor activity. Most participants experienced this increase within just two to six minutes.
Specifically, the percentage of colonic activity rose from 16.2% to 23.7%, signaling a notable change. Those who often felt abdominal pain after eating showed even more pronounced reactions, with their activity jumping from 16.1% to 29.8%. However, it’s important to note that three of these patients still experienced their usual pain after taking magnesium, suggesting that while magnesium can enhance motility, it doesn’t eliminate the pain for everyone.
Ultimately, these findings lend support to the idea that some cases of abdominal pain related to food may stem from heightened intestinal responses to cholecystokinin, a hormone released by the intestine. So while magnesium shows promise for intriguing changes in colonic movement in IBS patients, its effectiveness in alleviating pain remains mixed.

We aimed to uncover the relationship between magnesium levels and sleep quality, particularly focusing on sleep apnea. Our study analyzed data from a large group of adults aged 20 and older, using a well-structured method to assess magnesium levels and the prevalence of sleep issues.
We found a notable connection between lower magnesium levels, measured as the magnesium depletion score (MDS), and the likelihood of experiencing sleep apnea. Specifically, individuals with higher MDS levels were significantly more likely to report sleep apnea, showing over three times the odds compared to those with adequate magnesium levels.
Interestingly, our research did not link magnesium deficiency to other sleep problems like insomnia or restless legs syndrome, suggesting a more complex relationship with sleep apnea alone. Additionally, we noticed that older adults with depressive symptoms showed a tendency toward excessive sleep rather than insufficient sleep.
While our findings highlight the association between magnesium deficiency and sleep apnea, they also point towards the potential of adequate magnesium intake in reducing this risk. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper magnesium levels for better sleep quality, especially in those at higher risk for sleep apnea.

Magnesium treats anxiety in MS
We aimed to understand the impact of nanoparticulate magnesium hydride (MgH) on anxiety and depression associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). Our exploration involved studying how MgH affects mood disorders in a model we designed, specifically using experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice.
We discovered that MgH treatment significantly alleviated anxiety and depression-like behaviors in these mice. Not only did MgH help improve their mood, but it also reduced overall disease severity and inflammatory damage within the central nervous system.
Importantly, our findings suggest that MgH could be working by promoting healthier microglial activity. It appears to encourage the beneficial M2 polarization while inhibiting the harmful M1 polarization, alongside reducing oxidative stress. This mechanism offers a glimpse into how magnesium might truly enhance well-being for those dealing with MS-related psychiatric issues.
In summary, our research indicates that nanoparticulate MgH holds promise as a non-toxic and effective treatment option for anxiety and depression in people suffering from MS, showcasing a potential breakthrough in managing these debilitating conditions.

We examined how incorporating fly ash into magnesium phosphate repair mortar (MPM) influences its effectiveness in cold environments. Our investigation revealed that fly ash modifies the microstructure of the MPM, enhancing its performance without affecting the setting time or fluidity significantly.
We discovered that adding 10% to 15% fly ash improves the mechanical strength, adhesion, water resistance, and stability of the mortar. Notably, we found that the curing temperature plays a critical role; as the temperature rises, compressive strength increases, while properties like flexural strength decrease.
Interestingly, even when cured in icy conditions at -20°C or 0°C, MPM with fly ash retains good early strength and strong adhesion properties. This suggests magnesium phosphate repair mortar modified with fly ash is suitable for emergency repairs in cold weather, showcasing its potential for use in challenging environments.

Relieves swollen feet
Most Useful Review

Great value for money. This product is excellent for my dad's swollen, tired feet. It effectively softens his dry, inflamed skin while alleviating the itch. It dissolves easily in tepid water and is by far the most affordable option compared to what I find in Singapore and Australia, all packaged in a 1.5kg tub.

Magnesium potentially benefits CFS patients
We investigated the relationship between magnesium levels in red blood cells and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). A case-control study revealed that CFS patients had lower magnesium levels than healthy individuals.
In a randomized, double-blind trial, 32 CFS patients received either magnesium sulphate or a placebo for six weeks. Those treated with magnesium reported significant improvements in energy, emotional wellbeing, and pain relief, with twelve out of fifteen feeling better.
In contrast, only three out of seventeen patients on placebo reported any improvement. Overall, these findings suggest that magnesium treatment may positively impact the wellbeing of those suffering from CFS.

I felt the effect from the first day! I have been using magnesium flakes for some time, but this product proved to be the most effective. It’s a favourite for the whole family as it genuinely relieves fatigue. Its large capacity is a bonus since it doesn’t run out quickly. I will continue to repurchase!

We explored the connection between magnesium deficiency and various challenges commonly faced by postmenopausal women, such as chronic pain, memory decline, and mood disorders. Our research specifically focused on how magnesium supplementation can help in alleviating these issues in ovariectomized and aged female mice—modeling the postmenopausal state.
We administered magnesium-L-threonate to these mice to assess its effects on pain sensitivity, memory function, and emotional behavior through behavioral tests. We found that this treatment not only prevented but also reversed many of the disturbances associated with aging and menopause.
Additionally, we noted significant changes at the molecular level, such as increased levels of inflammatory markers in the brain and spinal cord of untreated mice, which were significantly normalized with magnesium treatment. Notably, low magnesium levels in various body fluids were also addressed by this supplementation, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic approach for menopause-related disorders.
In summary, while estrogen loss during menopause leads to neuroinflammation and related health issues, magnesium supplementation presents a promising option to support postmenopausal health.

Relieves joint pain
Most Useful Review
This is the second one I've purchased. It contains a substantial amount of magnesium, which allows me to use it with confidence. I bought it again as my child often experiences muscle pain from club activities, and I utilise it to alleviate that, while I personally rely on it for relief from joint pain related to menopause. On days I skip using it, I notice a difference in my body the following morning. There’s no scent, so I add aloe oil to it. Initially, I tried a different magnesium flake, but I believe this product offers the best value for money. I will definitely repurchase when I run out.

We evaluated how magnesium pidolate impacts primary dysmenorrhea in 30 young women. Over six menstrual cycles, we tracked their pain levels using a visual scale. Initially, no treatment was given, and subsequently, magnesium was administered just before menstruation.
The first day of menstrual pain showed a notable decrease with magnesium treatment, especially from the first to the sixth cycle. While there were some improvements on days two and three, those weren't statistically significant. Importantly, no side effects were reported, suggesting magnesium can be a reliable option for managing menstrual pain.

I'm taking a bath with a cap based on your reviews. It was so cold that I couldn't sleep without adding hot water, but now my legs don't get cold. Additionally, my family has noted that the pain in my shoulders and lower back has eased. I realise that magnesium should be absorbed through the skin.
