Magnesium Supplementation to Prevent Bone Loss

Summary

Extreme magnesium deficiency is known to have an impact on the synthesis, secretion and/or action of calcium regulating hormones. Many older adults are at risk for less severe magnesium deficiency, since the majority of adults receive less than the Recommended Daily Allowance of magnesium. We hypothesize that magnesium supplementation will have a beneficial effect on calcium regulating hormones and markers of bone turnover.
