Do I need a Calcium supplement?
Many women find it difficult to meet their daily calcium needs through diet
alone, so Dr. Weil recommends supplementing to fill in the gaps. Dr. Weil recommends
500-700 mg of supplemental calcium every day for women for a total of 1,000
to 1,200 mg from all sources, while men probably do not need to supplement,
instead getting their needed 500-600 mg daily from food. Calcium in the diet
plays a vital role in bone mineralization during the growth years. Even after
maximum bone mass has been achieved, calcium intake continues to be important
to help slow down bone loss later in life. Calcium citrate appears to be better
absorbed, especially in older adults, than other forms.
When should I take my Cal-Mag supplement?
To ensure maximum absorption, it is best to take the Balanced Cal-Mag with meals.
What about Magnesium?
Magnesium is also an important mineral in the bone matrix, and should be taken
with calcium to offset its constipating effect and to ensure the appropriate
balance of these two key minerals in the body.
