    Published in Journal of Asthma

    Methodology

    Randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial of oral magnesium 340 mg/day for 6.5 months in mild-to-moderate asthma.

    Key Findings

    Oral magnesium improved methacholine-measured airway reactivity and asthma control and quality of life scores versus placebo.

    Conclusions

    Oral magnesium may modestly improve airway reactivity in mild asthma.

    Limitations

    Small single-centre trial; multiple outcome measures.

    Supplements Studied

    Magnesium
    Mineral

    Oral magnesium improved methacholine-measured airway reactivity and asthma control.

    Outcomes Measured

    Oral magnesium improved methacholine-measured airway reactivity and asthma control.
