abstract = {Menopause is a stage of hormonal imbalance in women which, in addition to other
physiopathological consequences, poses a risk of deficiency of key micronutrients such as magnesium
and vitamin D. A study was made of the influence of a magnesium intervention upon vitamin D
status in a postmenopausal population from the province of Granada (Spain). Fifty-two healthy
postmenopausalwomenbetween 44–76 years of age were included. Tworandomized groups—placebo
and magnesium (500 mg/day)—were treated during eight weeks. Nutrient intake was assessed using
questionnaires based on 72-h recall. Vitamin D was analyzed by liquid chromatography—tandem
mass spectrometry. Baseline vitaminDproved deficient in over 80% of the subjects. The administration
of magnesium resulted in significantly increased vitamin D levels in the intervention group versus
the controls (p < 0.05). Magnesium supplementation improved vitamin D status in the studied
postmenopausal women.},
