Results

The Italians also found an effect on the inflammatory factor CRP. Magnesium supplementation decreased the activity of CRP. That is probably positive. CRP often plays a negative role in chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.
Magnesium supplementation had no significant effect on other relevant markers, such as MDA, TNF-alpha and Interleukin-6.
Conclusion
"Considering the presence of inconsistent but potentially useful data regarding magnesium supplementation, further studies are desirable to corroborate and better clarify these findings", the Italians write.
