Magnesium has anti-inflammatory activity
Magnesium is believed to have powerful anti-inflammatory activity.
Studies have linked [23] magnesium deficiency with chronic inflammation and a host of other resulting health problems. One study found that children with extreme magnesium deficiency were the most likely to have the highest levels of CRP. CRP is a marker of inflammation.
Studies show [24] that the consumption of magnesium supplements reduces several markers of inflammation, including CRP. Consuming magnesium-rich foods like fatty fish may also help reduce inflammation in the body.
