Magnesium

[Gilly100]

Hi Anyone taking magnesium as a supplement for breathing problems? May benefit according to the web? Interested to hear.

I take 400mg magnesium pd. I take it as part of a blood pressure supplement. I haven't noticed any improvement in my asthma.

Magnesium Sulphate would have to be given as a medication and in enough amounts to have any affect.

I bought a calcium supplement and that has magnesium in. Like Poohbah I haven’t noticed any difference but it is possibly not a high enough dose. I could be wrong. but I think I read somewhere that you need to be careful with magnesium supplements.

I think I’ve heard that too about being careful with magnesium.

When in hospital I have been put on magnesium drips in an emergency, so there’s obviously something in it, however I wouldn’t take it without medical advice.

Every time I’m in resus I am put on a mag bag.

Really helps but I suspect it’s a high dose.

I take it in a flare up and I think it helps reduce inflammation. It irritates my stomach which is why I don't take it every day.
