In today’s episode of Daily Value, we explore the relationship between magnesium supplementation and blood pressure management. Although past research has produced mixed results, a recent umbrella meta-analysis (PMID: 39280209) has provided new insights into the impact of magnesium on cardiovascular health. With hypertension being a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, understanding how magnesium can help regulate blood pressure is more important than ever.

Episode Talking Points:

• The statistical importance of lowering blood pressure on cardiovascular and kidney disease risk.
• The role of magnesium in calcium regulation, muscle function, and vascular tone, and how it supports healthy blood pressure levels.
