Magnesium Myths vs Science: Debunking Marketing Claims

About magnesium myths and science with Alison Smith

In this series of short videos, Dr Alison Smith, PhD (Neuroscience) and award-winning health blogger, debunks myths associated with magnesium.

She takes on marketing claims that are unfounded in science and shares what the clinical research really says about the types of magnesium that are most absorbable.
