Magnesium para Metabolic Syndrome
B Evidencia Al menos un ensayo aleatorizado lo respalda, con resultados mayoritariamente consistentes.Meta-analysis of 32 RCTs (n=2,382) found significant reductions in BMI, waist circumference, fasting glucose, and CRP. Each 100 mg/day increase in magnesium intake was associated with 5% lower metabolic syndrome risk. Up to 68% of Americans fail to meet the RDA.
