This infographic demonstrates that the use of magnesium dietary supplements among those consumers that are at a high risk of experiencing a costly disease-related event can lead to a positive health care cost savings.

Magnesium and Vitamin D Absorption

Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone and to prevent hypocalcemic tetany. It is also needed for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts [1,2]. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D [...]

Magnesium and Hip Fracture

Nationwide data on municipal drinking water and hip fracture: could calcium and magnesium be protective? A NOREPOS study. Abstract: Norway has a high incidence of hip fractures, and the incidence varies by degree of urbanization. This variation may reflect a difference in underlying environmental factors, perhaps variations in the concentration of calcium and magnesium in [...]

Nerve and Back Pain Treated with Magnesium

“Clinical experience, as well as research in nerve pain conditions such as pancreatic cancer, has shown that magnesium can be an effective treatment for pain. Although it is clear why magnesium can decrease muscle pain (it makes muscles relax), why it would help nerve pain has only more recently become clear. A major mechanism of [...]

Magnesium Supplementation and Bone Mineral Density

The effects of magnesium supplementation in diets with different calcium levels on the bone status and bone metabolism in growing female rats. Abstract: Previous studies have revealed that magnesium (Mg) plays a significant role in bone health; however, few studies have investigated the effects of Mg supplementation in diets with different calcium (Ca) levels on [...]

Magnesium and Osteoporosis – Maintaining Bone Integrity

Magnesium and osteoporosis: current state of knowledge and future research directions. Abstract: A tight control of magnesium homeostasis seems to be crucial for bone health. On the basis of experimental and epidemiological studies, both low and high magnesium have harmful effects on the bones. Magnesium deficiency contributes to osteoporosis directly by acting on crystal formation [...]

Essential Nutrients for Bone Health

Abstract: Osteoporosis and low bone mineral density affect millions of Americans. The majority of adults in North America have insufficient intake of vitamin D and calcium along with inadequate exercise. Physicians are aware that vitamin D, calcium and exercise are essential for maintenance of bone health. Physicians are less likely to be aware that dietary [...]
