Thats similar to what I was told: as both minerals are transported into our body on the same way, taking them together means that one will be absorbed better than the other.

Lol! I think I give up- I found this:

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/magnesium-000313.htm">University of Maryland Medical Center- magnesium supplementation article</a>

"<i>Because magnesium improves the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract, some practitioners suggest that women take calcium and magnesium together at a ratio of 2:1, particularly around the time of menopause. This helps prevent loss of bone mass."

and then it says...

"Magnesium competes with calcium for absorption and can cause a calcium deficiency if calcium intake levels are already low. </i>"

I'd guess, that the doctors are still out on this one? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

That article, btw, is really informative about all the different diseases (things like asthma, fibromyalgia, diabetes, even pms <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> - there are 16 different conditions listed on the right hand side of the article, with more mentioned in the body of the article), and it is an easy read for info on magnesium.

Okay, I've been reading until my eyes are crossed, lol, and this seems to be what I have found the most:

Too much calcium lowers magnesium levels. Not enough magnesium makes calcium less absorbed (apparently, magnesium works on other vitamins -vit. D and vit. C, one article said- that help the calcium be absorbed), and cause the calcium to be distributed in soft tissue, and not so much in bone (think calcium deposits, bone spur type of things). So- it is the <b><i>ratio</i></b> in which you take calcium and magnesium that is important, and that yes, they should be taken together.

Too much calcium makes for the magnesium not being absorbed as well, which makes for improper/inadequate amounts of calcium being asborbed, and improper disbursment of calcium causing soft tissue deposits...

More magnesium vs. calcium= higher blood levels/absorbtion of both; more calcium vs. magnesium leads to lower levels of both...

2 to 1 seem to be the ratio that magnesium and calcium should be taken in that keeps popping up...

Oh, and chocolate has a high magnesium content, (with some calcium), and it is suspected that is why some women crave it during pms, because magnesium levels drop during that cycle! Ha! Vindication! lol
