Magnesium for high blood pressure

Can magnesium supplements help lower my blood pressure?

Recently the public has gone crazy over magnesium. Consumers have been buying kilograms of magnesium powder to treat a variety of health disorders. Many people have jars of magnesium powder underneath their bed and they religiously take it every night before time. Analysis of clinical studies reveal that there is no clinical evidence that magnesium can lower blood pressure. A few patients did have lowering of diastolic blood pressure, but the effects are inconsistent and not sustained.

If I were you, I would stick to the Meds prescribed by your doctor. High blood pressure is a silent disorder but if you do not treat it, you will end up with a heart attack or a stroke. All the magnesium you need is readily available from your diet. You will be hard pressed to find people with magensium deficiency on planet earth. People who promote magnesium are charlatans who have little knowledge about medical physiology but excel at talking from their backside.
