Magnesium supplement intake and C-reactive protein levels in adults
Given that inflammation is a major player in most, if not all, chronic diseases, anything that can lower inflammation is going to have a positive effect on our risk of chronic disease.
This study finds that patients with low dietary intake of magnesium, those taking magnesium supplementation had lower CRP levels, a marker of inflammation. I usually don’t recommend magnesium separately (except in cases of constipation, in which it can work very well), but a good quality multi should have the magnesium needed when coupled with a good quality diet.
