Yeah, I know, no medical support, but you may be happy to have known this info down the road. If you don't want to know this info, don't read it. Or, some family members may have Osteoporosis and wonder why....
Magnesium Deficiency and Osteoporosis
About 20 yrs ago I had a dexa scan and it showed osteopenia and I went to work to correct my report. Did a lot of Magnesium research and found this is what WE NEED for bone health and I've been supplementing ever since and no advancement in the osteopenia. And I'm 84 now.
Just the other day a person on another group was asking about the S/E of Reclast IV's for the osteoporosis she is challenged with, and she's only 59. I brought the magnesium issue to her attention.
Here is a good link of the mag and osteoporosis connection..

Magnesium and Osteoporosis: Current State of Knowledge and Future Research Directions
A tight control of magnesium homeostasis seems to be crucial for bone health. On the basis of experimental and …

6. Conclusions
Although the evidence is still fragmentary, most of the experimental and clinical data available in the literature point to Mg as a contributor factor to bone health. Consequently, optimizing Mg intake might represent an effective and low-cost preventive measure against osteoporosis in individuals with documented Mg deficiency, while doubts remain about supplementing the general population with the mineral since too much Mg seems to have detrimental effects on the bone.
Personally I do not take supplemental calcium, I get it in some foods and Vit D.
