Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Magnesium is scientifically validated as a key mineral for supporting the structural system, particularly bone health. Approximately 60% of the body’s magnesium is stored in the bones, where it contributes to bone structure and strength. Numerous studies have demonstrated that magnesium plays a critical role in bone mineralization, the process by which bones gain density and hardness. It acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in the synthesis of bone matrix and the regulation of calcium metabolism, a mineral that is also central to bone health. Epidemiological data show that higher dietary magnesium intake is associated with greater bone mineral density in both men and women, and magnesium deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures, especially in older adults. Clinical trials, while fewer in number, indicate that magnesium supplementation can improve bone density in populations at risk for deficiency. Authoritative bodies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recognize magnesium’s fundamental role in supporting the structural integrity of the skeletal system. Therefore, the use of magnesium to support the structural system, specifically in the context of bone health, is strongly supported by scientific evidence.
