>>From what I find here

> and elsewhere the ratio of calcium to magnesium should be 2:1.

Now, if you give a cal/mag supplement with that ratio and also use

magnesium sulfate cream, is the cream affecting the ratio?

The 2:1 ratio is standard for a healthy person. If you are deficient

in mag then a ratio of 1:1 may be better until you are no longer

deficient, and then go to the 2:1. In addition, it is fine to give

higher amounts of mag. I would think that, yes, you would include the

mag from the cream in the total amount, because that is being

absorbed into the body. Also, you can, but don't have to give the

calcium and magnesium at the same time.

A holistic doctor told me to take calcium at night for better absorption and

that the magnesium and calcium are to be taken separately..........do you have

any differing or additional information you want to pass along?.

Dear Jeanne,

What is the reason you need to take calcium alone at night before bed?

the runs soon after. I now split up the pills and Carolyn Dean who

wrote the Magnesium Miracle said it is best to take it between meals

for better absorption.

==>I don't believe that it increases absorption to take cal/mag

separately, nor at night, because calcium requires other nutrients,

found in foods in order to be absorbed and utilized. Also when you

take one without the other it depletes the body's stores of the other

one. You can find out a lot more about this at www.acu-cell.com.

Bee, in your opinion would this be a good version to take?

Subject: calcium/magnesium

Hi

for all of you that still don't have dairy. What do you do?

I was taking a calcium/magnesium supplement and now I have realised

it's not SCD legal, so it can feed candida.

I have heard of the Kal dolomite powder, the WPF says it has been

tested pure, but it still has more calcium than magnesium (not the

double tough)

I have heard of a product called Natural Calm that is magnesium

dissoved in water

And I have read (WPF and NT book) broth made from bones (with

vinegar or lemon juice in it) simmering for a long time will provide

calcium, magnesium and other minerals too.

And the grey ocean sea salt too.

I don't know what to do. I will try have broth every day, but maybe i

should still try some supplements (i'm nursing)

how are you managing this?

Thank you

they are for some reason convinced this is the ratio the body needs.

==>Hi Amber. Yes, you can take 2 calcium and 1 magnesium even if the

total calcium is 550 mg. and magnesium 570 mg. Ensure it states

the " elemental " amount on the label, which is the amount absorbed.

I'm finding some people aren't doing that, and IF the label does not

state the elemental amount that means they may have to take more of

that product in order to get the correct amount. You absorb about

40% of calcium or magnesium citrate when the elemental amount isn't

on the product, so it requires doing some math to calculate it.

The best, Bee

[Guest guest]

>

> Bee, I am taking both calcium citrate and magnesium citrate in powder forms.

The bottle doe not state elemental amounts, but it does say that it is highly

bioavailable. Do I still go ahead and take 1200mg of eack in divided doses or do

I keep it at 600mg of each.

>

Hi kelly. If you bought it in North America, it probably is the elemental

amounts since the US changed regulations so that all labels for minerals must

state " elemental amounts. "

> Bee, I have natural factors brand of both calcium and magnesium and in my last

post you said that i can take 300mg of each twice a day. Well the magnesium is

150mg each so i can equal 300 with that but with the magnesium one pill is

350mg. What should i do? Thank you!

+++Hi Keri. You mean your calcium is 350 mg, right? Either dump out one of the

magnesium capsules to get it closer to 700 mg per day so it equals your calcium.

Or cut off part of the calcium tablet so it is less. Either way you should do

fine.

I'm trying to find "whole food calcium & magnesium" in a powder, not a pill form. I want to make my own tooth product. The one I have is very basic and simple, but it calls for the above and I'm having trouble finding that product.

Anyone?

Hi Shari,

Will you share your tooth product recipe with us? I am always curious about homemade tooth products! By the way, does anyone have a good natural skin cleanser that does not include castile (sp?) soap? Thanks. Hope everyone is well, and Happy Fall!!!

Peace on earth.
