cal citrate and mag citrate powder -- how would you measure ?

[Guest guest]

Sounds like if I get the capsules of cal citrate and mag citrate then I would be

taking 500 mg at a time and then maybe opening the capsule and adding another

100 mg.

Is it easier to take the powder? How would I measure out 300 mg at a time? I

have a scale that measure is grams, but not milligrams.

Thanks!

+++Hi ,

Yes, that would work since you shouldn't take more than 500 mg of calcium at one

time.

Measuring out powder depends upon the serving size on the label. For example:

NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate Powder is a serving size of 1 teaspoon for 3.7 grams

or 630 mg of magnesium. I don't think you can weigh it on a scale to get the

correct amount but I could be wrong.

You would measure out 1/2 teaspoon for each dose = 315 mg which is close enough.

It is okay to get a little bit more magnesium than calcium anyway.
