Magnesium in biology be used as adjuvant therapy in patients on optimal treatment for severe congestive heart failure, increasing survival rate and improving clinical symptoms and patient's quality of life. Magnesium can affect muscle relaxation through direct action on cell membranes. Mg ions close certain types of calcium channels, which conduct positively charged calcium ions into neurons. With an excess of magnesium, more channels will be blocked and nerve cells activity will decrease. Intravenous magnesium sulphate is used in treating pre-eclampsia. For other than pregnancy-related hypertension, a meta-analysis of 22 clinical trials with dose ranges of 120 to 973 mg/day and a mean
Magnesium taurate Magnesium taurate Magnesium taurate, also known as magnesium ditaurate, is the magnesium salt of taurine, and a mineral supplement. It contains 8.9% elemental magnesium by mass. Accordingly, 100 mg of magnesium is contained in 1121 mg of magnesium taurate. Magnesium taurate has been studied in rats for delaying the onset and progression of cataract. Due to the expected dissociation of magnesium taurate in the body before absorption, safety data on magnesium and taurine can be used to evaluate the safety of magnesium taurate. Taurine has an observed safe level of supplemental intake in normal healthy adults at up to 3
