Supplements for Metabolic Syndrome

What the Research Shows

Research into supplements for metabolic syndrome highlights magnesium as a potential area of interest. There is moderate evidence from meta-analyses of observational studies suggesting that individuals with higher magnesium intake or blood levels may have a lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Other forms of the mineral, such as magnesium citrate, have been studied with weaker evidence. For instance, a small pilot trial indicated that magnesium citrate might help decrease blood pressure and HbA1c levels in people with metabolic syndrome who have normal magnesium levels. Because these findings come from smaller or observational studies, they should be viewed as preliminary.
