New research suggests that magnesium supplements may protect the liver from acetaminophen-related damage by affecting the gut microbiome. The study found that oral magnesium can induce metabolic changes in the gut microbiome, leading to increased levels of a compound called indole-3-carboxylic acid (I3C), which inactivates the enzyme CYP2E1 responsible for liver toxicity. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and determine the potential protective benefits of magnesium supplements in humans.
