Cal-Mag Citrate Effervescent 8oz (227g)

Cal-Mag Citrate Effervescent byThorne contains 500 mg of calcium and 200 mg of magnesium per scoop, with a ratio of ingredients that is particularly suitable for those who require an increased amount of calcium but cannot handle an equal amount of magnesium due to its laxative-like character. Additionally, one scoop of Cal-Mag Citrate Effervescent offers 500 mg of vitamin C and 500 mg of the amino acid glycine. Recent studies indicate that a daily intake of 500 to 1,500 mg of a well-absorbed form of calcium can help increase bone mass in adolescents, young adults, older men, and postmenopausal women. Magnesium, an essential mineral, is found in all cells of the body and is necessary for maintaining bone density, pulmonary function, cardiac rhythm, and regulation of blood glucose levels. This product is unique in the marketplace due to its combination of calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, and glycine, which may help to improve symptoms of calcium and magnesium deficiencies.

 

Thorne suggests mixing 1 heaping scoop (5.4 g) of  Cal-Mag Citrate Effervescent into 8 ounces of water one to two times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
