What type and amount of Magnesium supplement is needed for bone health

I think that this amount would need to be evaluated in context with your entire medical history. This is best done by you and your doctor.
Ai does say this:
A total daily intake of 600 mg of magnesium is generally considered high, and taking this amount from supplements alone exceeds the recognized safe upper limit of 350 mg per day for adults. While magnesium is crucial for bone health—with some studies indicating that higher doses (400–800 mg) can support bone density in postmenopausal women—consuming 600 mg in supplements can cause side effects.

@kathleen1314 Thank you for the insight Kathleen, I appreciate you.
I'm having a difficult time finding a team of doctors to work with: bone doctor, endocrinologist and PT. So I'm trying to do what I can now until I can get appointments. But it doesn't end there. Then there's deciding if that provider is right for me.
I went to a "bone specialist" last week that I'd waited 6 weeks to get into. I am still hurting from his exam. From what I'm learning through my own research, we're not supposed to twist, bend forward or arch back, and he forced all those things.
He did give me a prescription for PT 3x week for 6 weeks, and a list of practitioners, and again, I have to wait 1 month to get in to see the highly recommended one. So I'll be calling a ton more offices tomorrow to see if I can get in sooner.
I wish there was some sort of directory for each area of tried and true practitioners, but as yet, I haven't found that.
