Magnesium benefits children with asthma

According to a recent study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, children with asthma who took 300 mg of supplemental magnesium for two months showed improvements in their bronchial responsiveness, fewer asthma exacerbations (wheezing, chest tightness, or cough), and had less skin reactivity to allergens.

Bonnie - I have always and continue to prescribe magnesium for asthma and allergy. In addition, I will continue to consider magnesium the most important supplemental nutrient one can take.
