Calcium and magnesium help?
I was taking Kirkland calcium citrate with mag.and zinc. Does anyone take a calcium pill that has a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium. Calcium and Mag. are low but I take so many other pills that I hate to add just a magnesium pill. I have been searching but can't find anything. all the article just say take Calcium at 2:1 level with magnesium. Thanks ! Can anybody help????????

Just add the extra Magnesium pill. Magnesium is cheap, it's water soluble (so you can't take too much of it, you just pee out what you don't use) and it helps with constipation. I take an extra 1000 mg of Magnesium daily.

Magnesium is indeed cheap, but a caution... don't take mag oxide, which is the least bio-available form of mag out there (which is why it's so damn cheap). Take mag citrate or another form... that's the only thing that keeps my levels up to the where painful cramps don't cripple me.
