Swanson Calcium Citrate Plus Magnesium 150 Capsules

This is my third purchase of Calcium Citrate. I have low bone density and this is a must have supplement. calcium citrate is supposed to be easier to digest and absorb than oyster shell based calcium. The price is so much better and this supplement even includes magnesium.

My doctor recommended this supplement. I started taking it 3yrs ago. Every fall I've taken before starting it resulted in a broken bone. Since starting it I've fallen but no broken bones. I highly recommend this product.

Helped my bones

I've been using this product for years and I like it that it is a capsule so it dissolves quickly. However, It seems that lately, when I'm ready to place my order, usually several other items, too, this product is out of stock. I know it's a popular item, but I have to hold up my whole order because I don't want to have to pay shipping for one item when it does come in.

I'm a scientist and a medical student. I've been looking for a calcium citrate with magnesium supplement without "vitamin" D (actually a hormone, not a vitamin), which is in too many products. I have been unable to find that in stores. This is the best I have found anywhere. Get your "vitamin" D from the sun where you're supposed to get it. Mag citrate instead of mag ox would have been better, but it's not bad. I just wish the shipping didn't cost more than the product.

I read one of the reviews that stated calcium and magnesium should not be taken together. After searching for more info, it is actually supposed to be taken together. I have been taking these for a few years now and would not ever be without them. These along with vitamin D3, is probably all that I need.

I like the calcium citrate in that I am able to digest this kind of calcium better than other kinds. It is usually best for me to take it with food to help my digestion of it. I also like it that it comes with magnesium. The price of the product is good as well.

I have used one bottle of the combined Calcium Citrate plus Magnesium, knowing that I need both at my age. But I researched whether these two supplements should be taken together and found:\n\nCalcium should be taken during the day. Magnesium is best taken at bedtime for better utilization and better sleep. The reason for this is that calcium is antagonistic towards magnesium, as they act biochemically to cancel each other out.\n\nShould take up to 400 mg of Magnesium each day. I will be ordering mine separately in the future.
