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 postmenopausal women between 44–76 years of age were included. Two randomized 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 vitamin D proved 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.}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III REF.PI10/1993}, organization = {Spanish Government}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Vitamin D}, keywords = {Magnesium}, keywords = {Liquid chromatography—tandem mass spectrometry}, keywords = {Post-menopause}, title = {Response of Vitamin D after Magnesium Intervention in a Postmenopausal Population from the Province of Granada, Spain}, doi = {10.3390/nu12082283}, author = {Vázquez Lorente, Héctor and Herrera Quintana, Lourdes María and Molina-López, Jorge and Gamarra Morales, Yenifer and López-González, Beatriz and Miralles-Adell, Claudia and Planells Del Pozo, Elena María}, }
