In my view, these individuals have plenty of calcium stored in soft tissues where it does not belong, and supplementing boron and magnesium is expected to redeposit this misplaced calcium into the bones. I regard the medical focus on a high- calcium intake as a prescription for accelerated ageing. magnesium. About half the total body magnesium is found in bones and the other half is inside the cells of tissues and organs. Only one per cent is in the blood, and the kidneys keep this level constant by excreting more or less with the urine. In contrast, 99 per cent of calcium is in the bones, and the rest is in the fluid outside of cells. uscles contract when calcium moves into the cells, and they relax when calcium is again pumped out Australia, New Zealand, USA), and magnesium moves in.
