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

There really isn’t one # fits all, as we all react differently to magnesium….i have heard that the critical bone supplementation needs to contain a lot of D3 and K2. Keep researching and even do trial/error, though on the gentler side !

I'm not sure where you are located. When I search for doctors in the USA I use Health US News to find highly rated doctors; then I check with on line reviews; then drill down with insurance and locations.

@kathleen1314 This is really helpful, Kathleen, thank you.

I see that I can get lost in this site for hours.

BTW: I am located on the North Shore of Long Island.

And, does it matter if you take the magnesium and calcium at the same time? Or do they need to be taken a certain number of hours apart?

Magnesium Glycinate 200 mg. My 56 year old daughter takes it for muscle cramps. After one injection of Prolia I decided to stop taking it because of side effects. It's been 9 months and I've started having terrific muscle cramps. My internist told me to take Magnesium Glycinate. It has helped. You can get it at any drug store.
My bottle suggests 2 a day, after food. I never take more than 1 since I tend to have side effects from just about everything. My daughter buys the Sam's Club ones. I got a common brand at Walmart and they are horse pills. So, you might want to check the size of the pill or capsule. I spoke with a friend who just quit Prolia after 2 injections and her muscle cramps were so bad she had to go to the ER. I read where the rebound after quitting Prolia after 2 injections is 30 months. Also, my total cholesterol went up to 236, and I had a reaction to Lidocaine. The dentist sent me to an allergist. I'd never had a reaction to Lidocaine before. The allergist said that the Prolia lowers the immune system and that I probably had a reaction to the preservative in the lidocaine. I see no reason to ever take another bone med. I do Pilates twice a week where we work with resistance bands, and I wear a weighted belt when I walk for exercise. I'm sticking with holistic methods.

@chiefsmom I'd love to know the difference in all the types of magnesium and which is most appropriate for osteoporosis.

@viv1953
My rheumatologist felt I would get enough magnesium from food, so I decided not to take a magnesium supplement.

@beachesanddreams Nice job, isn't easy.

I take K2 with D3 and Magnesium Glycinate. Not MagOx. I have certainly noticed a change especially with the Magnesium Glycinate. I helps with relaxation and thus my spinal muscles aren’t as tight.

Hello,
I was taking a magnesium supplement for bone health- normal dosage. My blood work came back with high magnesium level & Dr said to stop taking it. I stopped. I also use raw honey in my morning coffee. Did some research. Raw honey contains magnesium. My blood magnesium level is now normal.
