The Seventh Sign: Accelerated Bone Density Loss.
You probably associate strong bones entirely with calcium intake, but roughly sixty percent of your body’s total magnesium resides in your skeleton. Magnesium actively converts inactive vitamin D into its active form, calcitriol, which your body needs to absorb calcium from your diet.
If you aggressively supplement with calcium while remaining deficient in magnesium, that calcium cannot properly integrate into your bones; instead, it may calcify in your arteries or form kidney stones. A silent drop in bone density significantly increases your risk of developing osteoporosis and suffering severe fractures from minor impacts.
