Calcium & Magnesium 2:1 by NOW FOODS is a food supplement in tablet form that supplies elemental calcium and magnesium in a 2:1 ratio.
These tablets are easy to include in a daily routine for anyone who prefers to take minerals with a meal.
Each serving of two tablets combines calcium and magnesium from several salt forms. With 1,000 mg per serving, calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Magnesium, at 500 mg per serving, contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and to the maintenance of normal bones.
