Abstract
Magnesium is the second most abundant cation in bone and has been recognized as one of essential elements of bone. It is estimated that 1300g of calcium, 14g of magnesium, and 600g of phosphorus exist in bones of a 70-kg human adult.1 Basic structure of bone is composed of hydroxyapatite [Ca5(OH)(PO4)3], but Newman proposed that magnesium is incorporated in bone crystal in the following formula: [Ca 9++(H2O+)2(PO 4≡)6(OH-)2] [Ca++ · Mg0.3++ · Na 0.3+ · CO3- · Cit0.3].2 © 2007 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
