INCLUDING NEW RESEARCH INTO CORONAVIRUS SARS-COV-2

Scientific Evidence: Ingredient #8 - MAGNESIUM

SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 Research results

FOR SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE UPDATED TO JANUARY 2022, OBTAIN THE FOURTH EDITION OF 'AVD' (2022)

Potential interventions for Novel Coronavirus in China: A Systematic Review - Lei Zhang & Yunhui Liu - Journal of Medical Virology (13 Feb. 2020):

“We have found that the general treatments are very important to enhance host immune response against RNA viral infection. The immune response has often been shown to be weakened by inadequate nutrition in many model systems as well as in human studies.”

Combating COVID-19 and Building Immune Resilience: A Potential Role for Magnesium Nutrition? - Taylor C. Wallace - Journal of the American College of Nutrition (13 May 2020):

“Clinical recommendations are given for prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Constant monitoring of ionized magnesium status with subsequent repletion, when appropriate, may be an effective strategy to influence disease contraction and progression. The peer-reviewed literature supports that several aspects of magnesium nutrition warrant clinical consideration.”

A Cohort Study to Evaluate the Effect of Combination Vitamin D, Magnesium and Vitamin B12 (DMB) on Progression to Severe Outcome in Older COVID-19 Patients - Chuen Wen Tan, Liam Pock Ho, Shirin Kalimuddin, Benjamin Pei Zhi Cherng, Yii Ean Teh, Siew Yee Thien, Hei Man Wong, Paul Jie Wen Tern, Jason Wai Mun Chay, Chandramouli Nagarajan, Rehe-na Sultana, Jenny Guek Hong Low & Heng Joo Ng - medRxiv (10 Jun. 2020):

“Conclusions: DMB combination in older COVID-19 patients was associated with a significant reduction in proportion of patients with clinical deterioration requiring oxygen support and/or intensive care support. This study supports further larger randomized control trials to ascertain the full benefit of DMB in ameliorating COVID-19 severity.”

Magnesium Deficiency and COVID- 19 – What are the Links? - Oliver Micke, Jürgen Vormann & Klaus Kisters - Trace Elements and Electrolytes; Munich (2020):

“Magnesium (Mg) has a strong relation with the immune system as well, and immunological functions are disturbed in case of Mg deficiency. Interestingly, in patients with XMEN disease (X-linked immunodeficiency with Mg defect, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and neoplasia) it has been reported that free basal Mg concentration has an important role in regulating cytotoxic immune function. By that, intracellular free Mg concentration contributes significantly to antiviral immunity. Therefore, decreased resistance against infection with SARS-CoV-2 in case of Mg deficiency can be assumed. However, there are some more potential connections between Mg and COVID-19 worth mentioning.”

Enhancing Immunity in Viral Infections, with Special Emphasis on COVID-19: A Review - Ranil Jayawardena, Piumika Sooriyaarachchi, Michail Chourdakis, Chandima Jeewandara & Priyanga Ranasinghe - Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome (Jul-Aug. 2020):

“Magnesium plays an important role in controlling immune function by exerting a marked influence on immunoglobulin synthesis, immune cell adherence, antibody-dependent cytolysis, Immunoglobulin M (IgM) lymphocyte binding, macrophage response to lymphokines, and T helper-B cell adherence [...] [S]ome in-vitro and in-vivo studies suggests that magnesium is likely to play a role in the immune response against viral infections.”

Earlier Scientific Evidence re: Magnesium

Anti-Viral / Immune Supportive Research

Magnesium and Immune Function: Recent Findings - H. McCoy, M.A. Kenney - Magnesium Research (1 Dec. 1992):

“Recent findings regarding roles for magnesium in immunocompetence confirm and extend previous knowledge of its participation in natural and adaptive immunity. The detrimental effects of severe magnesium deficiency have been confirmed. There is better comprehension of how magnesium relates to mechanisms that control cellular activities and regulate interactions among cells that affect immune functions.”

Antiviral Activity of Magnesium and Magnesium/poly r(A-U) Combinations Against two RNA Viruses - J. Jamison, J. Gilloteaux, M.R. Nassiri, C.C. Tsai & J. Summers - Nucleosides and Nucleotides (4 Oct 2006):

“Magnesium (Mg2+) potentiated the anti-vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) activity of poly r(A-U) or poly r(G-C) and the anti-HIV-1 activity of poly r(A-U). Mg2+ did not affect the anti-VSV activity of poly (rI).poly (rC), poly (dA-dT).poly (dA-dT) or poly (dG-dC).poly (dG-dC). Modulation of one or more nuclear (nucleolar) processes of the host cell may be responsible for the synergistic antiviral activity.”
