Calcium and magnesium...(with response)

[Guest guest]

I take 3000-4000 mg of Calcium per day (as part of my orthomolecular

vitamin treatment). Right now, I am taking 1000 mg of Magnesium oxide

per day. I also take Epsom salt baths almost every day to get more

Magnesium in my body. Is this sufficient? (I know the ratio is 2:1

but I am afraid of taking more Magnesium as it might be harmful).>>

** I'd be more concerned about taking too much calcium. Get yourself a

better quality magnesium. Of that 1,000 mg. you are getting a mere 100-200 mg.

Oxide is a poor quality form of magnesium that is difficult to assimilate. Get

citrate or aspartate. I would not do more than 1500mg. calcium. Why are you

taking so much calcium?
