Ingredients explained
Calcium (as calcium malate)
Calcium provides a key mineral for bone mineralization and participates in muscle contraction and nerve signaling.
Caution: Take with food if you experience stomach discomfort, as minerals can be hard on an empty stomach; separate from high‑dose iron by a few hours because calcium can reduce iron absorption.
Magnesium (as magnesium malate)
Magnesium acts as a cofactor in energy production and supports muscle and nerve relaxation while contributing to bone structure.
Caution: May cause loose stools in some individuals, so consider splitting doses across the day; take away from certain antibiotics as magnesium can reduce their absorption.
How they work together
Calcium provides the structural mineral for bones and drives muscle contraction, while magnesium contributes to bone matrix and helps muscles relax. Malate forms are generally well absorbed, supporting efficient mineral uptake for daily use.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If pregnant, consult a healthcare practitioner before use.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, tetracyclines, or fluoroquinolone antibiotics may need to separate calcium and magnesium by at least 2 hours to reduce absorption issues. Those with kidney concerns or a history of kidney stones should discuss mineral supplements with a healthcare provider. If using medications that may interact with calcium or magnesium, consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.

A 1:1 ratio of calcium and magnesium for healthy bones, heart, and more
Calcium-Magnesium Malate provides a balanced blend of calcium and magnesium, both essential for bone density. Magnesium also supports heart and lung health and muscle relaxation.
Calcium-Magnesium Malate Details
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 heart 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.
