Can You Take Magnesium and Vitamin D Together?

Abstract Summary

Objective

To determine the safety and physiological benefits of co-administering magnesium and vitamin D.

Context

Vitamin D deficiency is widespread, and magnesium deficiency may impair vitamin D utilization despite adequate intake.

Methods Used

Approach

Nutritional intervention studies analyzed vitamin D status before and after magnesium co-supplementation.

Data Collection

Measurements included serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, magnesium levels, bone markers, and inflammatory indicators.

Researchers' Summary of Findings

Impact on Health

Magnesium improved vitamin D activation and effectiveness, enhancing bone and immune health outcomes.

Health Implications

Combined supplementation may be more effective than vitamin D alone, especially in magnesium-deficient individuals.

Sustainability

Synergistic nutrient use reduces the need for excessive vitamin D dosing.
