Thanks so much for this great article Bugg.....due to this article I learned that the ratio of magnesium to calcium I was using is incorrect.
I always thought that the supplementation ratio was 2parts calcium to 1 part magnesium but according to the article it's 2parts magnesium to 1 part calcium.....very important info!

Interesting. Thanks!
Maybe they should discontinue fortifying milk & other foods with extra calcium...? I've seen they put extra calcium in orange juice & almond milk - probaly other stuff, too. We have to compensate & take extra magnesium just to accomodate that issue, as well.

hm - we always think we are so smart and can improve things but it seems to me we're more like the proverbial "elephant in a china store" when it comes to the body and its biochemistry

Interesting. I have always done better with a 1:1 or 2:1 Magnesium:Calcium ratio too...
Vitamin K is very important to bone health as well... From what I've read, Vitamin K is needed to get the calcium from the blood stream into the bones. Perhaps the Magnesium facilitates this by keeping the calcium water-soluble instead of letting it precipitate out as a solid while still in the blood vessels...
