Magnesium shows promise for RA treatment
We analyzed how magnesium supplementation affects the biology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in mice. By feeding one group a diet rich in magnesium and another a standard diet over 15 days, we examined changes in their tissue responses.

Our findings revealed that increased magnesium intake may alter gene expression linked to oxidative stress and cellular aging, processes that are significant in RA development. This suggests that magnesium could be beneficial for managing RA and potentially other autoimmune disorders by reducing disease severity and joint damage.

Magnesium may reduce lupus severity
We investigated how magnesium (Mg) affects the severity of autoimmune lupus in mice. By feeding MRL/lpr female mice a standard or high magnesium diet for nine weeks, we measured impacts on skin lesions and pathogenic autoantibodies.

The results were encouraging: mice on the high magnesium diet showed significant reductions in skin issues and harmful anti-dsDNA antibodies. Plus, their immune systems displayed more regulatory T cells. However, there were no notable differences in other measured health indicators.

Overall, magnesium supplementation may be a cost-effective and safe complementary treatment for lupus.

Magnesium shows promise for NMOSD
Our investigation focused on how magnesium L-threonate might help those with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).

We examined both mice and cultured human cells to see if long-term magnesium treatment could reduce neuroinflammation, demyelination, and strengthen the blood-brain barrier.

The results were promising; magnesium supplementation appeared to alleviate damage linked to NMOSD by improving blood-brain barrier integrity and dampening inflammation.

This suggests magnesium could be a novel approach to treating NMOSD.

Restored sleep

The effect is clear! On the third day of use, I managed to sleep through the night without waking – something that hadn’t happened for ages. My sleep has restored, and I'm no longer anxious over trivial matters. I don’t think I can do without this magnesium; I’ll continue ordering it.

Magnesium is necessary for our bodies. I learned its benefits from a German doctor. Since taking this magnesium, I've begun sleeping well, and I believe it’s the reason. My family has had no complaints about Solgar products. Magnesium should be taken throughout life, especially these days when our food sources are depleted of nutrients.

Magnesium-based therapy for RA
We explored the potential of a new magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide combined with nano-ceria in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This innovative therapy targets the unhealthy immune environment and the harmful buildup of hydrogen ions associated with RA. By neutralizing excess acidity, we observed improved immune responses, encouraging the body to heal damaged bones. This approach showed promising results in mice models, indicating it may be a viable future treatment for managing RA effectively.

Magnesium aids arthritis through immunity
We explored the effects of a high magnesium diet on rheumatoid arthritis using two mouse models. Our findings suggest that magnesium can significantly reduce arthritis severity and joint damage, while also promoting immune cell types that help combat inflammation.

Interestingly, these benefits seem to hinge on an immune mediator called IL-10 and changes in the gut microbiome, such as increased beneficial bacteria. While our results are promising, it is important to recognize that the protective effects depend on sufficient levels of IL-10, indicating that the relationship between magnesium and immune regulation is quite intricate.

Magnesium mitigates MS-related mood issues
We investigated the impact of nanoparticulate magnesium hydride (MgH) on anxiety and depression in multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease often accompanied by these mood disorders. Our findings indicated that MgH treatment significantly improved anxiety and depression-like behaviors in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Additionally, MgH reduced disease severity and inflammatory damage. The proposed mechanism behind these effects involves modulation of microglial polarization and reduced oxidative stress. Thus, MgH shows promise as a potential treatment for psychiatric issues associated with MS.

Improved sleep quality
1 people found this helpful
This product has excellent features. The doctor prescribed Magnesium B6, and although I was advised to try this specific drug for its superior composition, I felt that after about 2-3 weeks, I could fall asleep quicker, and I became calmer, responding less to stress. I will order more.

High quality choice
2 people found this helpful
Bestseller! The Solgar brand needs no extra advertisement; it’s one of the finest on iHerb. Having tried various magnesium formulas, I settled on this one, well tolerated even for allergy sufferers. I recommend two tablets for effective calming and good sleep but advise taking them in the afternoon and before bedtime to avoid any issues. Magnesium is vital, especially when zinc is consumed, as deficiency affects absorption—Solgar is a top choice.
