Yes . You need 300 to 400 mgs daily. Normally you should get it in your diet, but with age it is important to suppliment your diet in most vitamins and minerals.

Yes, magnesium is a mineral that is needed by the body for helping to build bones, building proteins, enzyme actions, muscle contraction, immune system functioning, nerve transmissions and maintaining teeth.

Good food sources are nute, legumes, whole grains, dark green veggies, seafood, chocolate, cocoa.

Be wary of supplements, though, because it is possible to overdo it and end up with a toxicity problem--diarrhea, dehydration would show up as a sign.
