Can You Take Magnesium and Olive Leaf Extract Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Magnesium and olive leaf extract both lower blood pressure. Magnesium relaxes blood vessels while olive leaf inhibits ACE. The combination may produce additive hypotensive effects.

How to arrange timing

Monitor blood pressure when using both at therapeutic doses.
