Q: When Should I Use This Product?

A: Calcium deficiency is very possible, even on a nutritious and balanced diet. Especially if you are vegan or dairy-free, eat a high protein or high sodium diet (which can cause excess calcium excretion), or have digestive issues that may decrease your calcium absorption. Taking a regular calcium supplement can help to balance any of these issues and make sure you are reaching your daily recommended intake.

Just as there are good food sources for calcium, there are also foods to avoid. The following foods either decrease absorption of calcium or increase the excretion of calcium:

o High caffeine coffee, tea, soft drinks, and chocolate

o Sugar is similar to caffeine and decreases the amount of phosphorus in the blood

o High phosphorus intake from meat, grains, and soft drinks can take calcium from bones. Phosphorus and calcium need to be in a certain balance to have a positive effect on bone mineralization.

o Salt also has similar effects to sugar and caffeine

o Low Vitamin D can lead to low levels of calcium

o A high fiber diet, with most fiber coming from wheat, can lead to lowered calcium absorption as fiber binds calcium and is excreted from the body

o Protein in excess depletes calcium substantially. Too much creates an acidic environment requiring alkaline minerals like calcium to re-establish balance. Junk foods, refined foods, and most cooked foods also have this acid forming effect on the body. Protein also acts as a diuretic in the body, causing the kidneys to send calcium and other minerals out in the urine.

If you do happen to consume more of these foods/drinks this would be a good time to be supplementing.


Q: Who Can Benefit?

A: The typical daily dosage recommendations for these nutrients are:
• Calcium: 1,000 mg — 100% of the DV
• Magnesium: 400–500 mg — 100–125% of the DV

To reach these amounts, you would need to take 2–3 calcium-magnesium supplements over the course of the day. The variations in dosage owes to the fact that these minerals come in numerous formulations. Calcium-magnesium supplements are mainly available in capsule form, though some companies also sell powdered and liquid versions. Those who either have difficulty consuming enough dietary calcium or absorbing calcium would benefit from taking supplemental calcium-magnesium.
