Calcium + Magnesium 2:1 | 180 & 365 Tablets | Vit4ever

Calcium + Magnesium 2:1 from Vit4ever

This tablet from Vit4ever combines calcium and magnesium in a fixed 2:1 ratio: calcium magnesium in the dosage of 800 mg calcium and 400 mg magnesium per daily dose of 2 tablets. This is convenient if you do not want to manage two separate bottles, but do want to maintain a fixed ratio between the two minerals. For those who think about calcium and magnesium daily, this is a simple way to get both in a fixed dose, without having to do the calculations yourself with separate supplements.

Why calcium and magnesium are often taken together

Many people wonder why calcium and magnesium are offered in combination. Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and normal teeth. Magnesium also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. In addition, both minerals contribute to the normal function of the muscles. Calcium also plays a role in the process of cell division and differentiation, and calcium contributes to normal blood clotting. Calcium also contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, just as magnesium does.

The 2:1 calcium magnesium ratio explained

The 2:1 calcium magnesium ratio means that there are two parts calcium to one part magnesium. Per tablet, that is 400 mg calcium and 200 mg magnesium, and per daily dose of 2 tablets, therefore 800 mg calcium and 400 mg magnesium. This ratio appears frequently in mineral formulas. The formula uses calcium carbonate as a calcium source and magnesium carbonate plus magnesium oxide as magnesium sources. These are widely used, stable mineral salts that can be compressed well into tablet form, which explains why this combination often comes on the market as a tablet and not as a capsule. Calcium carbonate is also one of the most common calcium sources in supplements, simply because it provides relatively much calcium per gram. Magnesium oxide also contains relatively much elemental magnesium per unit of weight, which helps to keep the tablet compact.

What magnesium does in addition

In addition to the shared role with calcium, magnesium has a number of its own tasks. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to the normal function of the nervous system and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Magnesium also contributes to normal protein synthesis, to normal psychological function and to the electrolyte balance. The latter, the electrolyte balance, is about the ratio of minerals such as sodium, potassium and magnesium in your body fluids. Magnesium also plays a role in the cell division process, just as calcium does.

Who is this calcium magnesium supplement interesting for

This product is particularly interesting for those who are specifically looking for a calcium magnesium combination in a fixed ratio, instead of combining two separate supplements. It saves calculation work: you do not have to figure out yourself how many milligrams of calcium and magnesium you combine per day, because that is already fixed in the tablet. The tablet form is also easy to dose, you simply take 2 tablets per day with enough liquid. The packaging is also available in two sizes, 180 or 365 tablets, so you can choose between a smaller supply or a year's supply at once.

Calcium and magnesium remain two of the best-known minerals in nutrition. These tablets from Vit4ever offer a fixed, calculated ratio between both, so you do not have to puzzle yourself with separate dosages. Two tablets per day with some liquid, and the rest is up to the fixed 2:1 ratio of the formula.
