Calcium And Magnesium Supplements

Anyone know of any good calcium and magnesium supplements?

I was taking a really good natural product that came in capsules, and it really helped for me PMS a lot. However, since I have developed this pain in the side I have had to stop taking them because I get that pain in the left side (colon spasms) when I take them.

Anyone know of any, preferably liquid calcium, that is not too prone to reactions?

Also, magnesium as well.

I did read that for IBS one should not take calcium and magnesium at the same time

I bought some liquid calcium and Vitamin D at LD today, and I am going to try to sneak it into my blender drinks in the morning and hope I get no pain in the left side.

If anyone has had experience with a good liquid calcium let me know.

Thanx, Janet

I like Liquid Health. The calcium has the right ratio of magnesium plus other supportive nutrients. It doesnt have the best form of vitamin D (doesnt convert well) so supplement with D3 as well.

I use E-zorb, which is calcium aspartate anhydrous. I believe it is made from plants. Its extremely absorpable (90%) and as far as I know there are no adverse reactions. I use magnesium citrate powder from Now. I have also used their magnesium carbonate powder.

I also highly suggest taking either marshmallow root caps or slippery elm--or both to help heal and soothe the villi. Bromelain/papain caps will also help aid digestion plus reduce inflammation in the intestines.

You should probably also not eat uncooked vegetables, highly spiced or fried foods and for now avoid nuts and seeds, especially if they are unsprouted--until the lining of your gut becomes more thoroughly healed.

Don't have any issues similar to yours. But I've done some research on Magnesium/Potassium suppliments specific to Celiacs (and when I was diagnosed, I was also deficient in Potassium), and I use Country Life Target-Mins Magnesium Potassium Aspartate (with other Target-Mins Chelates).

It contains Target-Mins Magnesium as Magnesium aspartate, oxide, citrate, taurinate, and alpha ketoglutarate.

And Target-Mins Potassium as potassium aspartate, citrate, and alpha-ketoglutarate.

Target-Mins (trademark) are complexed with specific free-form amino acids and Krebs Cycle carriers for optimum mineral transport. I haven't a clue what that means, but it sounds really impressive, doesn't it? B)

Plus, get this. Country Life always labels their minerals in elemental weight. Unlike other common suppliments that use those produce scales at Walmart. :rolleyes:

And, there's NO Yeast, corn, wheat, soy, gluten, milk, salt, sugar, preservatives or artificail color. Darn, kind of makes you wonder just what this stuff is made of.

best regards, lm

I take the calcium/magnesium suppliment by Nature's Bounty and VitD by Nature Made--both appear to be OK by the label, but maybe double check if you're interested. If you're taking a Calcium suppliment of any kind, always take with food or it can really upset your stomach! It's important to take the Ca/Mg together because each helps the body absorb the other. The 3 of them together are like a natural prozac too!

As yolo mentioned, Open Original Shared Link makes powdered magnesium and calcium, in both citrate and carbonate forms. These will blend into drinks pretty easily, thought the carbonate forms are more neutral in taste. The citrate forms will add a citrus sort of taste - sorta lemony. These powders have no other ingredients too, so hopefully you won't have any negative reactions from them.

Adding some vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) would probably be a good idea.

True about the vitamin D. I usually use cod liver oil but not all can digest it. If you can however its the best since it has omega 3's plus vitamin A.

Many use capsules if they can't take it straight. I use 800 to 1000 IU's a day (usually two teaspoons or one capsule).

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply. Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots...

      Welcome to the forum, @Lburnett! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? I'm just trying to get a handle on the health context from which your question comes.

It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
