The role of ionized magnesium is of growing interest in internal medicine, especially in cardiovascular diseases and in patients with diabetes mellitus. Ionized magnesium (iMg) is the physiologically active component of serum magnesium, so total serum magnesium (tMg) is not always an accurate indicator of magnesium status but iMg is. This presentation will describe recent studies showing statistically significant… READ MORE

Several aspects of COVID-19 disease mimic metabolic events shown to occur during latent subclinical magnesium deficiency. Most notably, hypomagnesemia is a known pro-inflammatory state, and can predispose to cytokine storm, a factor in severe COVID-19 cases. A summary of experimental findings and knowledge of the biochemical role magnesium may play into… READ MORE
