Magnesium improves bone health
The bones contain several types of minerals and nutrients that give them structure and strength. Calcium is the most known bone mineral, but it is not the only important one. Magnesium is also critical to bone formation. Over half of the magnesium present in adult bodies is in the bones.
A 2013 study [18] found that people who took enough magnesium had a higher bone density and better bone crystal formation. It also linked magnesium intake with a reduced risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal females. Osteoporosis is a bone condition marked by low bone density and strength.
