Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart, blood vessels, brain, bones, skeletal muscles, lungs and pancreas.
A low level of magnesium is associated with an increased level of C-reactive protein (CRP) — a really bad actor in the body because CRP is a marker for type of inflammation that isn’t readily obvious from the outside.
The body of research on magnesium is immense. And it’s growing. Just two months ago researchers from Indiana University in Bloomington, the Center for Magnesium Education and Research in Hawaii and Tel Aviv University in Israel reported that data from 11 gold-standard clinical trials they had reviewed indicated that magnesium supplementation has a significant positive impact on cardiovascular health, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and other
non-communicable chronic conditions.
