• Supports healthy cardiovascular function*
• Supports the maintenance of healthy blood pressure*
Recommended Use: Take 2 capsules per day with meals or as directed by your health-care practitioner
Magnesium and calcium work synergistically
Magnesium and calcium share biochemical pathways. Oftentimes, low magnesium status is concurrent with low calcium status and vice versa. Magnesium is necessary for proper calcium utilization to support healthy nerve impulses, heart rhythm, and muscle contraction and relaxation.* Additionally, calcium is necessary for muscle contraction, whereas magnesium is necessary for muscle relaxation.*

Cal/Mag 1:1
Bioavailable Calcium and Magnesium Malate in a 1:1 Ratio for Bone, Muscle, and Cardiovascular Health*
Key Performance Benefits
- Supports bone structure and function*
- Supports healthy muscle function*
- Supports healthy cardiovascular function*
- Supports the maintenance of healthy blood pressure*
What This Product Is
Cal/Mag 1:1 delivers both calcium and magnesium in a 1:1 ratio to support bone health, muscle health, and cardiovascular function. Each 2-capsule serving provides 200 mg of elemental calcium (as DimaCal® Di-Calcium Malate) and 200 mg of elemental magnesium (as Di-Magnesium Malate) in a highly bioavailable malate form to help support overall health and cellular energy metabolism.*
Calcium is the most abundant essential mineral in the human body, with approximately 99% stored in the bones and teeth. Magnesium serves as a cofactor for more than 300 biochemical reactions and is necessary for every organ to function properly. Although the human body requires more calcium than magnesium, a supplement with a 1:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio may help attenuate potential nutrient deficiencies for those with suboptimal magnesium intake.*
Mechanism of Action
Bone Structure and Function
Both calcium and magnesium play crucial roles in bone structure and function. Calcium provides the primary mineral component of bone tissue, while magnesium is necessary for proper calcium utilization and is itself an important structural component of bone.*
Muscle and Cardiovascular Function
Calcium is necessary for muscle contraction, whereas magnesium is necessary for muscle relaxation. This complementary relationship makes a proper balance of both minerals essential for healthy muscle function, heart rhythm, and cardiovascular support.*
Nerve Transmission and Cellular Energy
Magnesium is necessary for proper calcium utilization to support healthy nerve impulses. The bioavailable malate forms deliver these minerals in a way that may also support cellular energy production through the malate component’s role in the citric acid cycle.*
Applications
- Individuals seeking balanced calcium and magnesium support for bone health*
- Those looking to support healthy muscle function and cardiovascular health*
- Individuals with suboptimal magnesium intake seeking a 1:1 ratio to address potential deficiencies*
- Those looking for bioavailable malate forms of calcium and magnesium*
- Individuals seeking to support healthy blood pressure and cellular energy metabolism*

Product Questions
Why a 1:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio?
Although the human body requires more calcium than magnesium overall, many individuals have suboptimal magnesium intake. A 1:1 ratio may help attenuate potential magnesium deficiencies while still providing meaningful calcium support. For a higher calcium ratio, Designs for Health also offers Cal/Mag 2:1.*
What are the benefits of the malate form?
Calcium and magnesium in malate form offer high bioavailability. The malate component (malic acid) also plays a role in the citric acid cycle, which may support cellular energy production.*
Who may benefit most from Cal/Mag 1:1?
Individuals seeking balanced calcium and magnesium support for bone, muscle, and cardiovascular health may benefit — particularly those with suboptimal magnesium intake who want equal proportions of both minerals.*
