Bone Growth - Magnesium Missing Factor

Magnesium, Not Calcium, May Be the Missing Factor

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY FUNDED A STUDY that showed the more milk consumed, the more bone loss (Am JCINu, 1985 (41) 254). As evidence that not enough magnesium is being used with calcium, rates of osteoporosis are lowest in cultures where the ratio of calcium is 2 parts and magnesium 3 parts. (Dairy products have a ratio of 10 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium, which is why high dairy consumption correlates with high rates of osteoporosis.) When magnesium is low there is overstimulation of osteoclasts in the bone structure, which causes net bone loss. One study shows that women who take 500 mg. of calcium and 600 mg. of magnesium a day experienced new bone growth. (Journal of Reproductive Medicine, 1990; 36:503) A typical American diet without dairy provides about 500 mg. of calcium a day (but add 300 mg. for each glass of milk) and about 200 mg. of magnesium. Thus, it is advisable that most Americans supplement their diets with at least 300 to 1000 mg. of magnesium per day, depending upon individual diet.
