    Magnesium Appears to Optimize Vitamin D Status

    Up to 80% of people do not consume enough magnesium in a day to meet the recommended dietary allowance.

    A randomized trial published in the December issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicated magnesium optimizes vitamin D status, raising it in people with deficient levels and lowering it in people with high levels.
     
    The study conducted by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers is important because of controversial findings from ongoing research into the association of vitamin D levels with colorectal cancer and other diseases, including a recent report from the VITAL trial. It gave confirmation to a prior observational study in 2013 by the researchers that linked low magnesium levels with low vitamin D levels.
     
    The trial also revealed something new—that magnesium had a regulating effect in people with high vitamin D levels. The research provides the first evidence that magnesium may play an important role in optimizing vitamin D levels and preventing conditions related to vitamin D levels.
     
    Qi Dai, MD, PhD, Ingram Professor of Cancer Research, the study’s lead author, described the ideal level as being in the middle range of a U-shape, because vitamin D at this level has been linked to the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease in previous observational studies.
     
    However, vitamin D was not related to cardiovascular disease in the recent VITAL trial. He and Martha Shrubsole, PhD, research professor of Medicine, Division of Epidemiology, are investigating the role that magnesium may play with cancer as part of the Personalized Prevention of Colorectal Cancer Trial.
     
    “There’s a lot of information being debated about the relationship between vitamin D and colorectal cancer risk that is based upon observational studies versus clinical trials,” Dr. Shrubsole said. “The information is mixed thus far.”
     
    They became interested in a role for magnesium because people synthesize vitamin D differently with levels of the vitamin in some individuals not rising even after being given high dosage supplements.
     
    “Magnesium deficiency shuts down the vitamin D synthesis and metabolism pathway,” Dr. Dai said.
     
    The randomized study involved 250 people considered at risk for developing colorectal cancer because of either risk factors or having a precancerous polyp removed. Doses of magnesium and placebo were customized based on baseline dietary intake.
     
    “Vitamin D insufficiency is something that has been recognized as a potential health problem on a fairly large scale in the U.S.,” Dr. Shrubsole said. “A lot of people have received recommendations from their healthcare providers to take vitamin D supplements to increase their levels based upon their blood tests. In addition to vitamin D, however, magnesium deficiency is an under-recognized issue. Up to 80% of people do not consume enough magnesium in a day to meet the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) based on those national estimates.”
     
    Dr. Shrubsole stressed that the magnesium levels in the trial were in line with RDA guidelines, and she recommended dietary changes as the best method for increasing intake. Foods with high levels of magnesium include dark leafy greens, beans, whole grains, dark chocolate, fatty fish such as salmon, nuts, and avocados.
     
    Co-authors of the study from Vanderbilt include Xiangzhu Zhu, MD, Hui Nian, PhD, Harvey Murff, MD, MPH, Reid Ness, MD, MPH, Douglas Seidner, MD and Chang Yu, PhD.
