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.

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.

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.

Excellent help from VSD. Magnesium citrate is a lifesaver for those suffering from VSD, nervousness, and high blood pressure. I managed to lower my blood pressure to normal and my pulse from 90-110 beats per minute to 70-75. My heart has stopped racing and I no longer experience muscle cramps or eye twitches. I take three a day after meals and it has also established my bowel movements.

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.

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.

I did not observe a pronounced effect with this magnesium supplement, unlike others. It may help with high cholesterol but did not prove effective for me. Higher dosages seem inconvenient, impacting economy.

Magnesium citrate helps me manage high blood pressure effectively! When I experience a drop in pressure, I take magnesium along with potassium and selenium. It calms my nervous system and reduces intercostal neuralgia. I drink magnesium three times a day, especially after meals. Its effectiveness is essential for my cardiovascular health.

We explored whether magnesium, specifically in the form of magnesium chloride, could help fight high cholesterol and atherosclerosis.
In a study with male mice, different concentrations of magnesium chloride were added to their drinking water, while they followed various diets.
We found that the higher concentration seemed to lower the extent of atherosclerosis significantly, along with reducing cholesterol levels after an initial stage.
However, overall blood lipid levels remained similar before and after the study, indicating mixed results in magnesium's effectiveness against high cholesterol.

Magnesium shows limited cholesterol impact
We explored how magnesium sulfate and EDTA could influence cholesterol levels and atherosclerosis in rabbits. During the study, rabbits were fed a cholesterol-rich diet and treated with either chelation liquid or saline.
The results highlighted that while the CHL treatment helped lower serum calcium and reduce aortic atheroma, it did not lead to statistically significant differences in cholesterol and triglyceride levels compared to the control group.
Overall, these findings suggest that magnesium may have a preventative role in high cholesterol but show limited therapeutic benefits once the cholesterol diet is stopped.
