How Magnesium Supports Bone Health in Bangladesh
In most Bangladeshi homes, calcium gets all the attention for bone strength. Yet many people still feel leg cramps at night, knee pain on stairs, or just tired bones. One quiet reason is low magnesium. Magnesium helps vitamin D work and guides calcium into the bones. Without it, calcium alone can feel disappointing.
A short story from Bangladesh
Salma Apa from Chattogram took calcium for years. The knee ache stayed. A nutrition check added magnesium and more leafy greens. She slept better within weeks and said, “payer betha komse, ghum o shanti hoy.” This is common in our rice and tea heavy diets where nuts, seeds, and greens are often missing.
Why magnesium matters for bones
- Helps calcium absorb and get used by bones
- Activates vitamin D so bones gain density
- Reduces night cramps and muscle tightness
- Supports better sleep and recovery
- Useful for adults who feel bone pain even after taking calcium
Do you have signs of low magnesium
- Leg cramps at night or after long walks
- Bone pain despite calcium use
- Restless sleep and morning fatigue
- Slow recovery after regular daily work
Calcium alone or calcium with magnesium
| Feature | Calcium only | Calcium with magnesium |
|---|---|---|
| Absorption | Limited for many people | Better absorbed and used by bones |
| Bone strength | Some support | Stronger density and long term support |
| Extra benefits | Mainly bone focused | Also fewer cramps and calmer sleep |
