Frequently asked questions

What does the 2:1 ratio refer to?

It refers to the amount of calcium relative to magnesium in each tablet, with the label stating a 2:1 calcium to magnesium ratio rather than an equal split of the two minerals.

How big is the bottle?

This bottle contains 250 tablets, which is a larger supply than many 90 or 120 count calcium products in this category.

Is it necessary to consult a doctor before taking this?
