Ca supp. for osteoporosis: Role of Magnesium

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon.

Something I learnt when looking into magnesium was that calcium does

not get absorbed if one is magnesium deficient. Calcium then has a

tendensy to often sit in the joints and muscels and cause problems.

This is one of the causes of arthrits evidently. This is not hard to

remedy by taking large amounts of magnesium. I also learnt that 60 -

80% of the population is magnesium deficient plus that most of those

with various diseases etc are magnesium deficient. I have ME and also

MCS and I know that takeing large doses of magnesium has done wonders

for me. [i take 5400 mg of magnesium glycinate a day which is 1080 mg

of 'elemental magnesium']

Because magnesium also needs calcium & vitamin D to be absorbed, as

a precaution I also take a multi vitamin when I take the magnesium in

the morning and at night - though I don't take the multi the rest of

the time I take the magnesium. I personally need very little calium

as I seem to have a lot that has built up.
