To anybody dealing with higher than ideal blood pressure, try supplementing magnesium. Magnesium deficiency is not often diagnosed by medical professionals, yet it's very common.

- hcarvalhoalves 5y agoThe blood test rarely shows Mg deficiency since the body compensates electrolytes in the blood w/ intra-celular reserves, according to my doctor. The diagnosis is always indirect by other symptoms (decreased reflexes, cramps, insomnia).
