Magnesium reduces calcification in bovine vascular smooth muscle cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Nephrol Dial Transplant, 2012

"...Results

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of magnesium on calcification in a cell culture model in order to reveal mechanisms underlying the above described positive effects of magnesium on cardiovascular parameters. Therefore, the influence of different medium magnesium levels on BGP-induced calcification was assessed in BVSMCs. Read outs were tissue content of calcium as well as other molecular markers, known to be involved in the progression of VC...." full paper: https://academic.oup.com/ndt/article/27/2/514/1924975/Magnesium-reduces-calcification-in-bovine-vascular
