March 10, 2022Effects of Magnesium Citrate, Magnesium Oxide, and Magnesium Sulfate Supplementation on Arterial Stiffness
A research team led by Joëlle Schutten of the Dialyse Centrum Groningen carried out a randomized controlled trial to determine whether magnesium supplementation has beneficial effects on arterial stiffness and blood pressure. 164 participants received either magnesium citrate, magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfate, or placebo for 24 weeks. The researchers found that neither magnesium citrate nor the other formulations effected arterial stiffness or blood pressure compared to placebo.
