We debunk common misconceptions and reveal why magnesium, often overshadowed by calcium, is just as indispensable for our well-being. 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.
