BONE HEALTH
Did you know that the mineral Magnesium also makes up bone health.
It is also a important relaxant for muscles. As well magnesium stimulates the hormone calcitonin, which helps to preserve bone structure by drawing calcium out of the blood and soft tissues back into the bones. This action helps lower the likelihood of osteoporosis, some forms of arthritis, heart attack and kidney (calcium oxalate stones). So, if you're taking lots of calcium and not much magnesium or none, you are then high susceptible to these conditions. In fact it is advise not to take oral calcium supplements with or without magnesium, as we obtain calcium in many types of foods, but magnesium is lost very quickly, from stress, drugs, and calcium. We actually only need to take oral Magnesium with its co factors (B6 PHP, Zinc and Boron) to aid good absorption. Calcium actually depletes magnesium in the body.
Most of us (and pets) are storing calcium in the blood and soft tissues, so we do not need anymore calcium, it is magnesium levels that we need to build up. Note: RBC magnesium blood test are the only type of test that will reviel what is in the cells. Serum Magnesium tests only measure 1% of magnesium in the blood, not the cells of the body.
A review of nutrition and bone health published by the American College of Nutrition, it was noted that among four unique population studies each found a positive correlation between magnesium and bone mineral density.
These studies are backed up by research demonstrating that magnesium deficiency results in:
Decreased bone strength
Decreased bone volume
Poor bone development
Excess release of calcium from bone into the blood without accompanying bone formation. E,g boney knobs on joints. Bone spures (over calcifications in bones)
Even mild magnesium deficiency is reported to be a leading risk factor for osteoporosis.
Similarly, the use of calcium supplements in the face of a magnesium deficiency can lead to calcium deposition in the soft tissues, such as the joints,(bone spurs, boney growths lumpy joints) where it can promote arthritis, or in the kidney, contributing to kidney stones.
Osteoporosis is considered a disease of the bones. While magnesium is not a drug and cannot treat any disease, it’s informative to consider the role that magnesium plays in healthy bones. The majority of the magnesium stored in your body is in bone, accounting for approximately 60% of total body magnesium. This magnesium is present on the surface of bone, and is available for the body to exchange into the blood as needed (1). It is very important for our bone health to make sure that we have adequate magnesium. Not only does magnesium have a structural role in bone maintenance, but it also influences bone-building cells and it modulates potential bone-damaging inflammation. Magnesium, the fourth most abundant mineral in your body, is a component necessary for the activation of vitamin D, and without sufficient amounts of it, your body cannot properly utilize the vitamin D you’re taking. So, low magnesium levels can jeopardize bone in many ways, including making the body resistant to the effects of vitamin D and the parathyroid hormone.
*If taking Vitamin D, the most natural form and best form is to take “Cod Liver Oil Capsules” (Vitamin A & D). For pets – piece the capsule and squirt the oil in every meal.
Note: The Vitamin D capsules or tablets are a synthetic hormone, which is not a good form of Vitamin D.
Magnesium and bone density
Magnesium and fracture
Studies have proven that magnesium is crucial to bone health. With a lack of magnesium in the body, crystal formation occurs on the bone cells, directly impacting the parathyroid hormone and promoting low-grade inflammation. The same study says, “Optimizing Mg intake might represent an effective and low-cost preventive measure against osteoporosis in individuals with documented Mg deficiency.” In an additional study, it is indicated that low serum magnesium levels are associated with increased risk of bone fractures. The research showed that men taking higher doses of magnesium were 44 percent less likely to suffer from a bone fracture; none of the 22 men studied with high magnesium levels had a bone fracture during the 20-year study. Considering the information above, it makes sense to include magnesium in your daily diet to support the health of your bones. Magnesium and calcium work closely together to ensure bone health; an appropriate amount of both is necessary for either to be effective. Ideally, everyone, including at-risk individuals, should have a 1:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio. So, if you are taking 500 mg of magnesium supplement each day, you should take 500 mg of calcium from food source only, which you can normally obtain from food.
If you or your pet have osteoporosis, you both may benefit from receiving as much as 750 mg of magnesium every day on going. (half that amount for toy dogs)
