Magnesium Orotate 100g

Exercise & Magnesium Orotate

It’s fascinating to me that Magnesium Orotate may help us better perform when it comes to our workouts. More importantly, this type of magnesium may help people with heart disease exercise better.

“Magnesium orotate improves left ventricular [the main pumping chamber] function and exercise tolerance in patients with coronary heart disease. 50% of mitral valve prolapse patients who took 3000 mg magnesium orotate in divided doses for six months achieved complete or partial reduction in their symptoms.”

Hypertension & Magnesium Orotate

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a major health issue in the United States. Reportedly, around 75 million American adults, that’s 1 in 3 adults, have hypertension.

Many drugs are prescribed to treat hypertension. But as we have discussed, the side effects of these drugs can include insomnia, fatigue and nutrient depletion in the body. So it might not be a bad idea to discuss an alternative form of treatment for hypertension, like Magnesium Orotate, with a competent medical professional.

One study involving 11 patients with hypertensive heart disease (heart disease caused by high blood pressure) and heart failure received Magnesium Orotate supplementation of 4500 mg daily. The results showed that this supplementation significantly decreased the patients’ NT-proBNP levels.

“B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are substances that are produced in the heart and released when the heart is stretched and working hard to pump blood. Tests for BNP and NT-proBNP measure their levels in the blood in order to detect and evaluate heart failure,” according to one source.

Any Downsides to Magnesium Orotate?

“There has been a single report on supplementation of Magnesium-Orotate causing toxicity symptoms in a young boy suffering from low blood magnesium levels,” according to this report.

As always, it is highly advised you have your child take a nutrient test and consult with a competent healthcare professional before implementing supplementation in your child’s healthcare routine.

In general, having too much magnesium may cause side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, abnormal electrical activity in the heart and more. So it is imperative to not supplement blindly. Do not simply go to your local health store and pick up a bottle of magnesium supplement. Seek competent medical advice first.
