Magnesium is vital to over 300 biochemical reactions in our body and has more health benefits attributed to it than any other mineral including calcium. Do you know that as much as 50% of the body’s magnesium is found in the bones, pointing to the importance of magnesium to bone health? While calcium is the central mineral in bone mineralization or calcification, the quality of the calcium crystals formed is profoundly dependent on magnesium. When too little magnesium is available, the calcium crystals are weaker permitting fractures to occur, even when consistent efforts have been made to consume the recommended daily calcium supplements.
