Calcium Magnesium Partnership

Calcium magnesium have been mentioned so often that they seem to be one mineral. Often people think the combination of calcium magnesium is simply because magnesium helps in the absorption of calcium.

The best absorption of calcium occurs when it is taken with Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Zinc - preferably in liquid form. But the benefits do not stop there.

Everyone knows that adequate amounts of Calcium contribute to health. But more recently it has become evident that Magnesium plays an equally vital role.

Both calcium and magnesium are associated with lowering the risk of osteoporosis. Regular exercise and a healthy diet combined with enough calcium helps build and maintain healthy bone health. This is especially important for high risk populations such as Caucasian and Asian women during teen and early adult years. It may also reduce their high risk of osteoporosis later in life.

Adequate calcium intake combined with magnesium is linked to reduced risk of osteoporosis by reducing the rate of bone loss - up to 50%. This is particularly important to men and women with a family history of the disease.

The body absorbs about 500 mg to 700 mg at a time, so it is recommended by many health professionals that calcium be taken in those dosages twice daily. A ratio is two parts calcium to one part magnesium. Therefore, 1000mg of calcium would indicate 500mg of magnesium. The recommended amount of magnesium is 300mg to 500mg daily. Daily intake of calcium larger than 2000 mg per day is not likely to provide additional benefit.

An excellent source is Matol's Calcium & Magnesium. It is a pure and natural mineral complex which is classified as an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, Vitamins C & D, and zinc. I have been taking it along with the Matol Diet program with excellent results.

Factors Affecting Calcium Absorption

Some dietary factors may interfere with the bodies ability to absorb and utilize calcium. This includes foods high in oxalic acid - chocolate, rhubarb, spinach. This type can form insoluble salts in the intestines.

Also phylic acid in such foods as whole grains, fiber rich food, caffeine in coffee, sodas, and tea can reduce the efficiency of absorption. Some medications may reduce the body's ability to absorb calcium.

How Much Magnesium?

About 19 grams of Magnesium are in the average body. It is distributed in bone and teeth (about 65%) and throughout the body in blood, organs, and tissue. It is important to the body's synthesis of protein as well as enzymatic reaction. Many of these affect energy and cardiovascular function.
