Boasts anti-inflammatory benefits
Inflammation, which plays a key role in aging and chronic disease, is connected to a low magnesium intake. Chronic inflammation is another side effect of magnesium deficiency, which can lead to obesity, seizures, and a variety of chronic disorders.
Magnesium acts as an anti-inflammatory, lowering C-reactive protein (CRP), a blood marker of inflammation. Magnesium supplementation reduced levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammation marker, in people with chronic inflammation, according to a study of 11 studies. Other studies have found that magnesium supplementation can lower CRP and other inflammation markers including interleukin-6. In addition, some evidence links magnesium deficiency to higher oxidative stress, which is linked to inflammation.
