Taking magnesium supplements increases heart rate in healthy adults.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that taking magnesium supplements increases heart rate in healthy adults?
Unclear. Three relevant items give only partial, indirect coverage: a Cleveland Clinic explainer links low magnesium to palpitations, and two small trials of magnesium-containing supplements reported reduced resting heart rate rather than an increase. None directly tests whether magnesium supplementation raises heart rate in healthy adults.
