Researchers using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys have found that low magnesium is linked to poor vitamin D status, and these issues are associated with risk for cardiovascular disease and early mortality.
Magnesium is important for the transport of vitamin D as well as its activation into the biologically active form. Thus a deficiency of magnesium impairs vitamin D activity.
Magnesium supplementation has previously been shown to improve rickets in patients that were not responding to vitamin D treatment, meaning that magnesium was needed for vitamin D to become useful in metabolism.
Many Americans lack magnesium as well as vitamin D, making them two important nutrients for basic health. The need for magnesium especially rises when a person is under stress. This synergistic relationship between magnesium and vitamin D is yet another example of how nutrients work as a team to help you with your health
