Looks like Calcium may be part of the problem, not the solution. Although it is perfectly possible that in your case you had a Calcium deficiency and benefited from extra Calcium. If nothing else, this highlights the fact that people are different!
- visarga 11y agoCalcium and magnesium work together, calcium is necessary for the activity of the nervous system and magnesium for regulating the calcium. I felt no ill effects when taking both, their positive effects seem to add up. Perhaps I had a deficit for both of them. You can test if you have deficit by taking a supplement for a week and if yo feel better, then it means you had a deficiency, but otherwise if you run a blood test it could come out inconclusive (I am not a doctor).
- mamon 11y agoCalcium and magnesium may work together, but they also compete for being absorbed in our bowels, so it's better not to take them at the same time. I'm sure that many people don't know this, but they know that "calcium is good" and "magnesium is good", so they eat a lot of both, not experiencing the positive effects they hope for. Btw. the same is true for zinc and calcium.
