Have you ever thought about the silent orchestrator of our body's symphony, magnesium?

Blood pressure and heart health enthusiasts, take note: our discussion dives into the lesser-known cardiovascular benefits of magnesium. We also dissect the mineral's role as a natural vasodilator and how certain medications can tip the scales against magnesium, affecting conditions from asthma to osteoporosis.
