Calcium-Magnesium Malate
This supplement delivers the mineral duo your muscles and heart depend on—calcium and magnesium in a scientifically-backed 1:1 ratio that supports contraction, relaxation, and recovery after hard efforts. When training and activity demand more from your body, optimized mineral absorption means these essentials can start working immediately to maintain bone strength and normal heart rhythm.
Thorne's Calcium-Magnesium Malate delivers calcium and magnesium in an optimally absorbed malate form at a 1:1 ratio, supporting bone density, muscle function, and normal heart rhythm as part of a consistent daily wellness routine.
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. Thorne’s Calcium-Magnesium Malate provides a 1:1 ratio.
Why is calcium important?
- Studies on calcium and bone mass show that daily supplementation of a well-absorbed form of calcium promotes bone mass in adolescents, young adults, older men, and postmenopausal women.*
