Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium is needed to form bones and teeth and is also required for blood clotting, transmission of signals in nerve cells, and muscle contraction. The importance of calcium for preventing osteoporosis is probably its most well-known role. Calcium also plays a role in lowering blood pressure. By reducing absorption of oxalate, a substance found in many foods, calcium reduces the risk of kidney stones. Calcium also binds some fats and cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore Calcium supplementation may help lower cholesterol levels.
Magnesium is needed for bone, protein, and fatty acid formation, making new cells, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting blood, and forming ATP—the energy the body runs on. Insulin secretion and function also require magnesium. Magnesium also acts in a way related to calcium channel blocker drugs. Magnesium has been found to improve vision in people with glaucoma. People with osteoporosis are at high risk for magnesium malabsorption. Both bone and blood levels of magnesium are low in people with osteoporosis. Supplemental magnesium has reduced markers of bone loss. Supplementing 250 (up to 750) mg per day of magnesium has also arrested bone loss or increased bone mass in twenty-seven of thirty-one people with osteoporosis.
