Hard to get everything in the correct proportions.
Good info about cacao - will look for it - easier way to get the magnesium!! Of course in appropriate doses.
I'd say you're on the right track. The reading I did said that magnesium is great for Osteoporosis because the straight calcium we were told to take previously was making our bones harder which would make them tend to break instead of giving a little in a damage situation. The magnesium should offer some of the flex back to the bones providing a better balance of strength and resiliency. Osteoporosis looks like it runs in my family, so it's one of the things I keep on my radar.
The magnesium helps us become the limber pine and move and bend with the wind rather than the more rigid tree that breaks in half during the wind storm.
