In reply to forgot to say - magnesium and asthma symptoms, posted by garnet71 on April 4, 2009, at 19:58:00
> I caught a glimpse of an article that said magnesium citrate can aggravate asthma like symtpoms. Don't know if this is valid; will check later.
It would fly in the face of what I understand about the effects of supplemental magnesium. Magnesium supps are recommended to reduce asthma symptoms, as they aid in preventing bronchospasm and reduce the general tone of the airway muscles. IV mag sulphate is sometimes used to treat acute asthma attacks in the emergency room.
I've never heard anything bad about the citrate salt.Lar
