Calcium-Magnesium Malate

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.*

Why is magnesium important?

• Magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because it is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions.
• Magnesium is essential to help maintain a healthy heart and blood vessels, for brain, bone, muscle, and lung health, and for healthy levels of blood sugar.*
• Magnesium relaxes smooth and skeletal muscle.*
• Magnesium and enzymes are cofactors needed to produce cellular energy.*
