Cardiovascular Health & Blood Pressure
To evaluate magnesium taurate on blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
Study Type
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled
Purpose
To evaluate magnesium taurate on blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
Dose
2000 mg/day magnesium taurate (250 mg elemental Mg)
Participants
64 patients with prehypertension
Duration
12 weeks
Results
Magnesium taurate significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure (−5.6/−3.2 mmHg) and improved arterial stiffness (PWV) compared to placebo.
How They Measured It
24-hour ambulatory blood pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV)
To evaluate magnesium taurate on cardiovascular protection in ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Study Type
Animal study
Purpose
To evaluate magnesium taurate on cardiovascular protection in ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Dose
Magnesium taurate 200 mg/kg/day
Participants
40 Wistar rats with induced myocardial ischemia
Duration
4 weeks pretreatment
Results
Magnesium taurate significantly reduced infarct size and preserved cardiac function. Combined Mg + taurine showed superior cardioprotection vs either alone.
How They Measured It
Infarct size, cardiac function, oxidative stress markers
To review cardiovascular benefits of magnesium-taurine combinations.

Results
Magnesium and taurine synergistically support cardiovascular function through complementary mechanisms: Mg as calcium channel antagonist and taurine as membrane stabilizer and antioxidant.
How They Measured It
Narrative review of clinical and preclinical evidence
Blood Sugar Management
To evaluate magnesium taurate on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes.
Study Type
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled
Purpose
To evaluate magnesium taurate on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes.
Dose
1500 mg magnesium taurate daily (188 mg elemental Mg)
Participants
48 patients with type 2 diabetes and hypomagnesemia
Duration

Results
Magnesium taurate significantly improved fasting glucose and HbA1c. HOMA-IR improved by 22%. Serum magnesium normalized in 85% of patients.
How They Measured It
Fasting glucose, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, serum magnesium

Dose
300 mg/kg/day magnesium taurate
Participants
32 streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Duration

Results
Magnesium taurate significantly improved glucose tolerance, preserved beta-cell mass, and reduced pancreatic oxidative stress compared to untreated diabetic controls.
How They Measured It
OGTT, insulin secretion, islet histology, oxidative stress markers
Neuroprotection & Cognition
To evaluate magnesium taurate on cognitive function and neurodegeneration.
