BONE LOSS MAY LEAD TO INCREASED RELEASE OF SUBSTANCE P AND TNF-ALPHA – (01-14-04)
Bone Loss Induced by Magnesium Reduction to 10% of Nutrient Requirement in Rats Associated with Increased Release of Substance P and TNF-alpha

There are many other factors such as Vit D and magnesium that go into bone health. It is a disease of lifestyle and magnesium depletion may be one facet that osteoporotic patients are affected by.
