Magnesium chloride reduces liver stress
Protective Effects of Magnesium Chloride on Liver Enzymes and Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress in high fat diet fed Rats.
Moderate relevance to health impacts.
We aimed to find out how magnesium chloride influences liver health and oxidative stress in rats on a high-fat diet.

In our study, groups of rats were fed either a normal diet, a high-fat diet, or a high-fat diet supplemented with magnesium chloride.

We found that those receiving magnesium showed lower levels of liver enzymes and oxidative stress markers compared to the high-fat diet group alone.

This suggests that magnesium chloride could help protect against the harmful effects of a high-fat diet, although its efficacy in humans needs further investigation.

Magnesium-rich DSW reduces cholesterol
Deep sea water modulates blood pressure and exhibits hypolipidemic effects via the AMPK-ACC pathway: an in vivo study.
Relevant for hypertension and cholesterol
We examined how deep sea water (DSW), rich in magnesium, influences high cholesterol and blood pressure. In our study, we tested three different dosages of DSW on spontaneous hypertensive rats over eight weeks.

The results were promising; both systolic and diastolic pressures decreased. Specifically, higher doses of DSW significantly lowered serum cholesterol levels and reduced fat accumulation in liver tissues, showing potential protective effects against heart disease.

Overall, our findings suggest that DSW could be a beneficial alternative for managing cholesterol and blood pressure.

Deep seawater aids cholesterol reduction
Drinking deep seawater decreases serum total and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic subjects.
Highly relevant findings for health
We explored how drinking deep seawater (DSW), rich in magnesium, impacts cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol. In a study involving 42 volunteers, participants consumed 1050 mL of DSW, magnesium-fortified water, or reverse osmosis water daily for six weeks. The results were promising: those who drank DSW experienced a notable decrease in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol over time. Additionally, blood samples revealed that DSW also reduced markers of oxidative stress. This suggests that DSW may offer a valuable option for managing high cholesterol.

Cramps alleviated
This magnesium is highly dosed and compatible, presented at a great price. I used to suffer from calf cramps at night, but since taking these capsules, they have disappeared entirely.

Normalised blood pressure
After my second child within two years, my blood pressure soared, often hitting 170. Following my therapist's recommendation for pressure-reducing pills, I began searching for vitamins to help normalise it and discovered this product. For four years, I’ve taken it without any bisoprolol-type tablets, and my high blood pressure issues have ceased. I take one capsule daily with vitamin B6 for better magnesium absorption. I recommend it.

Less anxiety
I consume one capsule daily throughout the summer. I appreciate the gentle effects, as it helped alleviate my anxiety and nervousness. Consequently, I now get ample sleep, and I feel light in the mornings. My previous stool issues have also disappeared. I highly recommend it.

Magnesium helps reduce cholesterol risk
An inverse association between magnesium in 24-h urine and cardiovascular risk factors in middle-aged subjects in 50 CARDIAC Study populations.
Strong correlation with cardiovascular factors
We examined how magnesium levels in urine relate to cardiovascular disease risk factors, focusing on cholesterol and other health measures. In a large, diverse group of 4,211 participants from 50 countries, we found that higher urinary magnesium was linked to lower body mass index, blood pressure, and total cholesterol.

Notably, people with the highest magnesium levels experienced significantly lower risks for obesity and hypertension compared to those with the lowest levels. These findings suggest that increasing magnesium intake may have meaningful benefits for heart health.

Magnesium reduces inflammation and syndrome
Magnesium intake, C-reactive protein, and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in middle-aged and older U.S. women.
High relevance based on findings
We analyzed data from 11,686 women over 45 in the Women's Health Study to understand how magnesium intake affects inflammation and metabolic syndrome.

Our findings revealed that higher magnesium intake was linked to lower levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation.

Women with the highest magnesium consumption experienced a 27% reduced risk of metabolic syndrome compared to those with the lowest intake, particularly among those who were heavier or past smokers.

Half-effective formula
The magnesium in this product includes citrate, glycinate, succinate, and oxide. While citrate and glycinate are effective with good digestibility, I couldn't find information on succinate's absorption, and oxide is poorly assimilated (about 5%). Thus, the product is at best partially effective. Despite the attractive price and the brand's strong reputation, I see no reason to spend money on it.
