How it works
Magnesium acts as a natural calcium channel blocker, relaxing smooth muscle in blood vessel walls and reducing vascular resistance.
Can cause loose stools at high doses. Avoid in kidney disease. Check for interactions with blood pressure medications.
Meta-analyses show magnesium supplementation reduces systolic BP by 2–4 mmHg. Effect strongest in those with low baseline magnesium.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
