Is it true that magnesium supplementation lowers blood pressure in adults?
Yes. A 2025 meta-analysis of 38 randomized controlled trials reports that magnesium supplementation reduced systolic blood pressure by about 2.8 mm Hg and diastolic by about 2.1 mm Hg versus placebo, with larger reductions in hypertensive and hypomagnesemic subgroups. Smaller trials in hypertensive patients and a Korean observational study point the same way, though effects are modest and not significant in normotensive adults.
