A study of children and teenagers has found that magnesium supplements can significantly improve asthma symptoms.

The study, carried out at the State University of Campinas Medical School, Brazil, treated 37 patients with either magnesium supplements or placebos, for two months.

The children and teenagers were aged seven to 19, and they were allowed to take asthma medications as and when needed.

It was found that the magnesium supplements significantly reduced bronchial reactivity by almost 30% and also greatly reduced skin reactions to different allergens.

It was also found that patients taking magnesium were able to decrease their use of salbutamol medication by almost 40%.
