Men with the highest levels of magnesium intake were shown in a recent study to have a 30 percent lower risk of developing gallstones.
The study, published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, followed more than 42,000 men for 16 years, according to a story in The Times Leader, a Pennsylvania newspaper. Men who had decreased risk of gallstones consumed an average of about 450 mg of magnesium per day.
Many reports say magnesium is lacking in the diet of many Americans. The nutrient can help support heart, bone, blood, nervous system and immune health, according to The Times Leader.
Magnesium is found in several enzyme-based nutritional supplements, including WellZymes™ Fibro Ease,™ which is specially formulated for those who suffer from the pain of fibromyalgia. With a combination of magnesium, malic acid and ginkgo biloba, WellZymes™ Fibro Ease™ helps provide oxygen and energy to weak or sore muscles.
