Thorne Calcium-Magnesium Malate

A 1:1 ratio of calcium and magnesium for healthy bones, heart, and more

Calcium-Magnesium Malate provides a balanced blend of calcium and magnesium, both essential for bone density.* Magnesium also supports heart and lung health and muscle relaxation.*

Thorne’s Calcium-Magnesium Malate is a convenient way to support bone and muscle health.* The easy-to-consume calcium and magnesium supplement is in an optimally absorbed form, so the minerals can get to work right away.

Magnesium and calcium work together in muscle cells magnesium causes muscle fibers to relax, while calcium causes them to contract.* And because the heart is a muscle these minerals are both important to help maintain normal hearth rhythm.*

How much magnesium and calcium do you need? The appropriate intake ratio of calcium to magnesium varies, with some scientific literature supporting a 2:1 ratio (twice as much calcium as magnesium), with other experts recommending a 1:1 ratio. Thornes Calcium-Magnesium Malate provides a 1:1 ratio.
