Alternative approaches to hypertension -

Magnesium levels have been found to be consistently low in

individuals with hypertension.

In one study, supplemental magnesium lowered blood pressure in 19 out

of 20 hypertensives.

At the division of Hypertension and Nephrology, National

Cardiovascular Center, Suita, Osaka, Japan, a study was conducted on

the effects of magnesium supplementation on office, home, and

ambulatory blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension.

Sixty untreated or treated patients (34 men and 26 women, aged 33 to

74 years) with office blood pressure greater than 140/90 mmHg were

assigned to an 8-week magnesium supplementation period (400 mg), or

an 8-week control period in a randomized crossover design.

All of the blood pressures were lower during the magnesium

supplemented period than in the control period.

The results indicate that magnesium supplementation lowers blood

pressure in hypertensive subjects, and this effect is greater in

subjects with higher blood pressure.
