Is Magnesium Good for Palpitations?

Magnesium is an effective treatment for some types of palpitations, but not all. While I generally prefer to test the blood magnesium level before treatment, a supplement of magnesium at a reasonable amount such as 400 mg magnesium, (100% of the daily value) is unlikely to cause problems.

How much magnesium should I take for heart palpitations?

In the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias of varying genesis, an "observational study" in 1,160 patients showed that a high-dose oral magnesium preparation (Magnesium-Diasporal N 300 Granulat) was effective. In 82% of the patients observed, a dose of at least 300 mg magnesium/day produced good to very good results.

What supplements are good for heart palpitations?

Vitamin C. Arrhythmias and other heart conditions are associated with oxidant stress and inflammation. Antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E appear to be effective in reducing these. You can use vitamin C to treat colds, the flu, and even cancer, and it can also help with arrhythmia.
