The researchers reached their conclusions after conducting a randomized clinical trial involving 250 people considered at risk of colorectal cancer. Researchers at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Tennessee say that magnesium raises levels of vitamin D in people who need more of that substance and lowers levels among those who have an excess amount of the vitamin in their system. It also improves bone strength and possibly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. That mineral appears to help regulate levels of vitamin D, which in turn manages the levels of other minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. If you’re looking to get more vitamin D in your diet, take it with a side of magnesium.
