- Registration Number
- NCT06091007
- Lead Sponsor
- Loma Linda University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of magnesium on handgrip strength using the more bioavailable magnesium citrate.
- Detailed Description
In this single-blind, randomized trial, participants will take a daily dose of either 200 or 400 milligrams of magnesium citrate supplement for four weeks, perform three separate handgrip strength tests using a dynamometer, complete a demographics questionnaire, a physical activity questionnaire, and a compliance log.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Hand grip strength change between baseline and 4 weeks Participants will perform three separate handgrip strength tests using a Jamar Plus digital hand dynamometer, (Sammons Preston, Bolingbrook, Illinois).
In each test, participants will do three trials resting for 15 seconds between trials, the average of the three trials will be recorded. To perform the hand grip strength test, the participant will hold the dynamometer in their dominant hand, with the arm at a right angle, and with the elbow by the side of the body. The participant then squeezes the hand dynamometer with maximum isometric effort for at least five seconds. Participants are required to not move any other part of the body and are encouraged to use maximum effort.
