half half the US population doesn't get enough magnesium and so those enzymes that are important for converting the D3 that you're taking into the active steroid hormone are not working properly
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

you do need magnesium in order to activate vitamin d
suboptimal levels of magnesium um will also uh impede um metabolism of vitamin D and and therefore um we we will see low magnesium associated with low vitamin D because magnesium is a co-factor in the enzymatic conversion of vitamin D

magnesium by acting as a co-actor for several enzymes that metabolize vitamin D then helps make sure that we're getting vitamin D and using it it effectively
