Supplementing magnesium through the skin is a superior way to protect bone health say health pioneers BetterYou, as a new study reveals that taking magnesium supplements in middle age can help prevent breaks.
Scientists from Bristol University discovered middle-aged men who had high levels of magnesium in their blood nearly halved their chances of breaking a bone over the next 25 years.
Dr Kunutsor added that people taking magnesium should also take a vitamin D supplement for maximum effect.
