Calcium Magnesium Supplements:The Truth About the 2:1 Ratio...If you take calcium magnesium supplements, you'll be interested in this myth... Some promoters will tell you that the ideal ratio of magnesium to coral is 2 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium. Of course, their product contains this 2:1 ratio. The Truth About Calcium Magnesium SupplementsScientists and other experts are very divided when it comes to calcium magnesium supplements.Some, like the promoters we mentioned, say that the 2:1 ratio is ideal for any calcium magnesium supplement. However, we could find no scientific validation of this "idealness" claim whatsoever. Other scientists say there should be no magnesium at all in calcium supplements -- and this makes sense, because calcium and magnesium are antagonists (they work against each other in a way). In other words, they believe that calcium supplements should contain no (or little) magnesium. In spite of claims to the contrary, independent scientists have not discovered this 2:1 ratio for calcium magnesium supplements in any coral samples. And the Okinawans have only 3% magnesium naturally occurring in their coral calcium -- which is very different than the 2:1 ratio that is claimed for the ideal calcium magnesium supplements. So nobody has a definite answer. The truth is that coral calcium products can work well whether they follow the coral calcium magnesium 2:1 ratio or not.
