Re: The official Cal Mag thread
I HIGHLY recommend Effervescent CalMag citrate powder from Thorne Research Labs. It is highly digestable and is quickly assimilatable. Not only do you have all the wonderful benefits of the calcium and magnesium mentioned by everyone here, but it completely elliminated ALL my indigestion during pregnancy. It is GREAT stuff!!
Also, and interesting point to note regarding Calcium/Mag - we are the most calcium absorbent in 2 major times of our lives - before and up to adolescence (so I give my children regular calcium, especially my girls as they are leading up to menstruating) and when we are pregnant/breastfeeding. It is very good to take cal/mag even when we are not super absorbable to it, but I HIGHLY recommend that all pregnant and nursing moms take it so they can refill the stores they are giving away so freely to baby. You'll be thankful for it later in life!
