The hydroxyapatite crystal plays a key role in the mechanical weight‐bearing properties of bone and serves as a ready source of calcium (CA) to support a number of calcium‐dependent biological systems and to maintain blood ionized calcium within the normal range. The skeleton, the gut, and the kidney each play a major role in assuring calcium homeostasis. Calciotropic hormones such as parathyroid hormone (PTH), PTHrP, and 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3initiate osteoclastic bone resorption and increase the activation frequency of bone remodeling. Magnesium content of the hydroxyapatite crystal in bone varies widely and is mainly on the surface of bone where a portion is in equilibrium with extracellular fluid (ECF) magnesium. In the cells, magnesium serves as a cofactor and regulates a number of essential biological systems. The concentration of magnesium in the ECF approaches that of the intracellular environment.
