Tokyo (JCNN) - Japanese salt manufacturer Akokasei has announced the results of its latest research on brine water that richly contains magnesium ion (Mg2+).
In its recent experiments on rats with adjuvant arthritis (AA), the company examined how brine water affects the level of leg edema and indomethacin-induced gastrointestinal damage.
The results showed that leg edema and gastrointestinal damage have been suppressed in the group administered with brine water. Thus, the company concluded that Mg2+ has a potential to prevent the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
Details of the research results were presented at the 125th Annual Meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
