We supply Calcium/Magnesium due to popular demand for a convenient once-a-day supplement. Even though calcium and magnesium are easiest to assimilate when taken separately, this calcium magnesium blend still makes an excellent choice.

Calcium/Magnesium contains angstrom minerals that are approximately 98% bio-available. Even if their utilization is somewhat decreased by mixing the calcium and magnesium together, this Calcium/Magnesium product is far superior to ordinary calcium magnesium blends. People seeking the absolute maximum of benefits may purchase Angstrom Minerals™ Calcium and Magnesium in separate bottles. For the rest of us who place a high value on convenience, Angstrom Minerals™ Calcium/Magnesium is the ideal calcium magnesium supplement.

DID YOU KNOW?
Calcium. Many PMS symptoms resemble those of calcium deficiency, says Susan Thys-Jacobs, an endocrinologist at St. Lukes Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. Though no one fully understands what causes PMS, Thys-Jacobs hypothesizes that for many women the problem may signal an underlying calcium shortage. In a study of 466 PMS sufferers, published in the August 1998 issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Thys-Jacobs and her colleagues found that calcium supplements of 1,200 milligrams per day -- the calcium equivalent of four glasses of milk -- significantly eased PMS symptoms.

Magnesium. In March of this year, nutritionist Ann Walker and her colleagues at the University of Reading in England published a study in the Journal of Women's Health and Gender-Based Medicine comparing magnesium to a placebo. The results suggest that modest amounts -- 200 milligrams per day -- could reduce water retention and bloating. A follow-up study, Walker says, showed that the same dose of magnesium paired with 50 milligrams of vitamin B-6 reduced mood symptoms like anxiety.

Liquid Calcium/Magnesium Ingredients:
Ionic* Calcium (1,500 ppm), ionic Magnesium (3,000 ppm), Purified Water.

* "Most minerals [from food] are 8-12% absorbable, Chelated Minerals are 40% absorbable, and liquid... Minerals are 98% absorbable, being 7000 times smaller than Red blood cells, with negative-charge for absorption." - Joseph B. Marion; Anti-aging Manual. ("With a negative charge" means the minerals are ionic.)

Suggested Use for Calcium/Magnesium:
Adults: 1/2 to 1 ounce (1 to 2 tablespoons) daily with the evening meal. May be added to fruit or vegetable juice. For use with children under the age of 14, consult a health care professional.

Important Notes Concerning Calcium/Magnesium:
The suggested serving size of Calcium/Magnesium is an absolute minimum. It is intended to augment a very well balanced diet. Feel free to increase the amount. Ionic Calcium does not build up in the body, so creating Calcium deposits is not an issue.

The use of certain medications, tobacco or alcohol increases the body's need for Calcium; so does heavy exercise. Other circumstances (such as stressful conditions) may further increase the body's need for Calcium and/or Magnesium.
