Magnesium supports memory of older adults

Vitamin D protects neuronal structures, plays a role in neuronal calcium regulation, and can lower your risk for age-related neurodegeneration and COVID-19
   
Magnesium is required for converting vitamin D to its active form and improves brain plasticity. Magnesium deficiency has been implicated in several neurological disorders, including cognitive dysfunction
   
Research has shown higher vitamin D levels are associated with reduced risk of low cognitive function in older adults, and this association appears to be modified by the level of magnesium intake

You need 146% more vitamin D to achieve a blood level of 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) if you do not take supplemental magnesium, compared to taking your vitamin D with at least 400 mg of magnesium per day
   
Combined intake of both supplemental magnesium and vitamin K2 has a greater effect on vitamin D levels than either individually. You need 244% more oral vitamin D if you’re not concomitantly taking magnesium and vitamin K2
