Summary
Brief summary
Heart disease is a major cause of death and disability in Australia. We have already shown that diet has a key role to play in maintaining blood vessel health. A low magnesium diet is emerging as a risk factor for heart disease and is associated with an increased risk of fatal and nonfatal ischaemic heart disease. Few studies have examined the effect of Mg on endothelial function in healthy adults. The hypothesis is that an improvement blood vessel function measured by flow mediated dilatation after a high magnesium diet achieved using dietary supplements.
