Re: The official Cal Mag thread
yeah, how important is the 3:1 ratio? I'm taking more like a 2:1 ratio...my magnesium comes in 250mg pills, which makes it hard to get 300...and my calcium comes in 300ish mg pills, which means taking four horse pills just to get to 1200. :/
And why, oh why, is magnesium so awful to swallow? I was taking Nature Made and thought it was just the brand--these flat, round tablets that would ALWAYS get stuck in my throat So I switched brands to something I found at Target...they're caplet shaped, so that's better, but they still start to dissolve in my mouth/throat It's like they're missing a coating that other vitamins have. Why is that??

Some Cal/Mag will probably fix that.

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
3:1 ratio is minimum
2:1 and even 1:1 have all been studied, and shown to be at least as good as 3:1 if not better for some conditions (1:1 is best for those coping w/ hypertension, but can give digestive problems from so much magnesium)

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
Cal/Mag was mentioned on the Today show today, but I only saw the end of it.

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
Does cal/mag end up making you a little tired during the day? I don't know if it's because we are coming off a week of spring break, or the fact that I just started taking cal/mag again (a 2:1 ratio). I'm just so much more sluggish during the days this week.

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
RE: ratios... One case study in the thread I linked to was a man sensitive to calcium and severly depressed, who actually needed to cut way back on his calcium and take substantial amounts of Magnesium in order to stabilize. Kefir was added after a point, with good results.

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
cal mag should be taken at NIGHT. It acts as a sedative and relaxes muscles. Perfect for the end of the day, not so great in the morning.

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
when I take Coral Calcium, I feel like that. I think it's TOO good for me I have to take about 1/3 the dose if I choose the coral calcium over regular Calcium Citrate.

Also, vegetarians need less, (if you are one) because they absorb it better. |

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
I'll try upping the iron but I don't know about reducing the cal/mag any more than I have, I was already only taking half a dose. I have heard you only absorb so much calcium at once anyway, so I was trying to break it into 2 doses (I usually forgot the morning dose and just did the evening dose).
Last night I didn't take any and I do feel better, but I'll try it again tonight and see what happens. And I ate leftover steak yesterday (so, no, I'm not a vegetarian) but I still was wiped out yesterday. I've also been upping my water intake overall too, just in case it's dehydration. |

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
when you have cal & mag at the same time your body absorbs it better so you don't have to split it into two doses. also, don't take it with iron b/c the iron effects the absorption of the calcium
