Re: The official Cal Mag thread
So I haven't read the whole thread but I'm amazed at the difference that the brand makes. I was taking some sort of capsule. And it didn't help much. Then I switched to Kal liquid and WOW! So much better. Sleep is better, no restless ankles. Its great!
I hear Liquimins is even better and I'm going to save up since its so much more expensive!

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
I cut back my cal/mag last night after reading this thread, and I didn't wake up with a drunken stupor hangover! I have been feeling like I am moving through water until at least noon or later for many moons. I cut back from 1000 mg Ca/750 mg Mg to 750 mg Ca / 375 Mg. The drawback was that I did nto sleep as well. I also didn't have hot flashes all night. Can Mg cause those, I wonder..?

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
Right so I'm confused. I take 1200mg cal to 600 mg magnesium a day to help me sleep and help restless legs. I just googled the Natural Calm stuff as I was wondering whether it's also available in the UK. It is! But this is what the blurb says:

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
housecat - no you are not taking too much.
Has anyone given this to their preteen/teen dd??? I have said I was going to get it based on a recommendation from Allison a long, long time ago, but couldn't find it in liquid or powder form. But after these past few days of hormonal ups and downs, I am going to the Vitamin store to get some. Just curious since I didn't read anywhere of this being good for our dd's too. Thanks!

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! |

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
Question: What is the recommended daily amount for preschool-aged children?
************************* Nutshell version of this thread: Mag oxide is bad (very poorly absorbed). Mag citrate is good Calcium Carbonate is bad (kidney stones are made of it, and may cause constipation) Calcium citrate good. Recommended dose is around 1200/400 or 1200/600 3:1 ratio is minimum (3 cal/1 mag) 2:1 and even 1:1 have all been studied, and shown to be at least as good as 3:1 if not better for some conditions (1:1 is best for those coping w/ hypertension, but can give digestive problems from so much magnesium) Liquimins - 32 oz, $21 on amazon. 2 Tbsp dosage. 1200/600 ratio. http://www.amazon.com/Liqumins-Liqui...=1TIRZ5VK9WR2U Bluebonnet - 16 oz, $10.50 on amazon ($4 shipping, cheapest available). 1200/600 ratio. 2 Tbsp dosage. http://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Calcium...=1TIRZ5VK9WR2U Label info http://www.bluebonnetnutrition.com/p...lus_Vitamin_D3 Thorne Effervescent - 8oz - Avoid this product, IMO. Made of cal carbonate and has 1:1 ratio of cal/mag. cal mag should be taken at NIGHT. It acts as a sedative and relaxes muscles. Perfect for the end of the day, not so great in the morning. Don't take together with iron, which inhibits absorption of calcium Sally Fallon recommends dolomite, but I didn't see any liquid cal/mag products specifying dolomite as a source. The other products on this thread that I researched online failed to meet the above criteria. Country Life, KAL, and one other I think.

Re: The official Cal Mag thread
Why is liquid better than tablets? I can get dolomite tablets.
Also - is Floradix liquid cal/mag good? I've found a uk online source for that. Oh, and how about calcium phosphate as the calcium source? Though I think the kids chewable cal/mag I found with calcium phosphate had mag oxide for the mag
