                                According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 48% of Americans have inadequate magnesium intake, a vital mineral for bone health, illustrating a widespread nutritional problem that can profoundly impact the skeletal system. This and other forms of poor nutrition contribute to osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones brittle and fragile, increasing the risk of fractures.
