A member asked:
Is magnesium needed for vitamin d absorbtion as cofactor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Magnesium is not: needed for absorption of D but it is good for muscle cramps, aches, and headaches. D is is needed as a co-factor for absorption of calcium, which is what you may be thinking of. Peace and good health.
