Think calcium is the only nutrient that does its job? Not so fast! Magnesium is equally important. It helps bind calcium to bones, regulate its concentration in the blood, and prevent its accumulation in soft tissues, which can cause pain and stiffness.
How to use:
Preferred form: magnesium citrate or bisglycinate, which is easily absorbed by the body.
Dosage: 300 to 400 mg/day for adults.
Nutritional advice: Focus on green vegetables (such as spinach), seeds (sunflower or pumpkin), and nuts.
Note: Avoid excess calcium without magnesium, as it can worsen joint pain.
Diabetes: The mineral that keeps an eye on everything
