What's the difference between one magnesium and another?
You're standing at the shelf with four bottles in your hand. They all say magnesium, they all cost something different, and not one of them explains what sets them apart.
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in normal muscle and nerve function, and it supports the body's normal muscle relaxation and contraction.* Plenty of people take it in the evening, as part of winding the day down.
What matters is the form, meaning what the magnesium is bound to. That's what changes how well your stomach and digestive tract handle it. Glycinate gets picked often because it tends to sit gently. Citrate and oxide are likelier to have a laxative effect.* That speaks to personal tolerance. It doesn't make one form superior to another. None of them is "the best." It depends on the person.
Which one suits you depends on what else you're taking, and that part doesn't get settled by reading the label.

This is the question for your next appointment:
"Is the magnesium I'm taking the right form for me, with everything else I take?"
Share this with whoever in your family takes magnesium.

Is walking every day enough for my bones?
You do your thirty minutes most days and you've done it for years. It's a good habit and there's no reason to stop.
Bone rebuilds when it's loaded. It answers mechanical strain, which is why strength and resistance work and lifting weights sit in every major bone-health guideline. In trials, walking on its own has not improved spine density. The loads that change bone are heavier ones.
The gains are real and small. They come over months of strength and weight work, and they fade once the loading stops.
There are movements worth avoiding that almost nobody mentions. Bending forward, or twisting at the waist while you're holding weight, the way you'd lift a suitcase out of the car and turn with it. In the gym, crunches, reaching for your toes, and trunk rotations with dumbbells aren't ideal either. In a spine with osteoporosis, those movements are associated with more fractures in the vertebrae.
If you have osteoporosis, starting a plan is the right idea, but talk to your doctor or a physical therapist first so someone guides you through what you can and should actually be doing. And if you're going to train with someone, make sure they know how to work with a person who has osteoporosis.
This is the question for your next appointment:
"What kind of weight work is safe for my spine?"
