Magnesium supplements may boost lung health for asthmatics: "Daily supplements of magnesium may improve lung function in asthmatics, and improve their quality of life, says a new study from America.
Measures of lung capacity increased by about 6 per cent during six months of magnesium supplementation, and improvements were also observed in the bronchial response to methacholine, a chemical that produces constriction of the lungs, according to findings published in the Journal of Asthma.
“Although there is conflicting research regarding magnesium supplementation and asthma outcomes, this study adds to the body of research that shows a beneficial response to magnesium supplementation in people who have mild to moderate asthma,” wrote researchers, led by Alexandra Kazaks from Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington State."
