Magnesium for building bone health While telling your patients over age 50 to take calcium may be a key way to reduce their risk of developing osteoporosis and low bone mass, ob/gyns are also becoming increasingly aware of magnesium's role in helping bind calcium to bones and improve bone density, according to Blaine Pharmaceuticals (Fort Wright, Ky.), makers of Mag-Ox 400 magnesium supplement. Common signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency are leg cramps, migraines, and fatigue, the manufacturer says. The easy-to-swallow tablets contain the most concentrated form of magnesium, are of pharmaceutical-grade quality, and are formulated for optimal absorption. Each tablet of Mag-Ox 400 contains 400 mg of magnesium oxide (which provides 241.3 mg of elemental magnesium). This product is available either behind or over-the-counter at select drug stores.
