Magnesium may benefit blood pressure in hypertensives

According to findings published online in Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, magnesium supplementation may help prevent the progression of hypertension in normo-magnesemic non-diabetic overweight people with higher BP. The study adds to findings from epidemiological studies which reported that more magnesium, potassium and calcium may reduce the risk of hypertension in certain populations.

Bonnie - I would say this research may be a little late...we've known this for 15-20 years!
