Lisinopril and Magnesium Taurate, a synergy.
Magnesium supplementation lowers blood pressure modestly, with meta-analyses reporting about 2-3 mm Hg systolic reductions in hypertensives. The taurate form combines magnesium with taurine, both of which have independent cardiovascular and blood-pressure-lowering effects. Combined with lisinopril the effects are additive and generally well tolerated.

Synergy
What is happening. Magnesium supplementation lowers blood pressure modestly, with meta-analyses reporting about 2-3 mm Hg systolic reductions in hypertensives. The taurate form combines magnesium with taurine, both of which have independent cardiovascular and blood-pressure-lowering effects. Combined with lisinopril the effects are additive and generally well tolerated.
Mechanism. Magnesium modulates vascular smooth muscle calcium handling, promotes nitric oxide release, and inhibits angiotensin-induced vasoconstriction. Taurine independently reduces sympathetic tone. Both add to ACE inhibition.
Recommendation. Magnesium Taurate at doses providing 200-350 mg elemental magnesium daily is a reasonable add-on for blood pressure or cardiovascular support; monitor home blood pressure after starting. Tell your prescriber so your lisinopril dose can be reviewed.
