Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 That is correct, one shouldn't supplement calcium without magnesium, not vice versa. Most of us get plenty of calcium in our diets.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Research has also shown that adequate intake of Vitamins D3 and K2 are necessary for calcium to move into the bones rather than hang out in joints, arteries, etc... Many of the Dr.'s that I read say that (as has been indicated in others posts on this thread) there is enough calcium in the diet but lack of Vitamins D3 & K2 cause it to not be assimilated properly. All agree that adequate magnesium is tough to come by in the diet and recommend supplementation. Also, an interesting excerpt from one article: " Dr. Guy Abraham, M.D., a research gynecologist and endocrinologist in premenstrual syndrome and osteoporosis has found strong evidence to suggest that women with osteoporosis have a deficiency of a chemical that is made when they take twice as much magnesium as calcium. In fact, he has found that when calcium intake is decreased, it is utilized better than when it is high. Dr. Abraham is one of many doctors and biochemists who advocate taking more magnesium to correct calcium-deficiency diseases.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 What I have heard and read says 100 mcg of K2 per day is a standard dose but varies with whatever condition may be taking place.
