Cal/Mag 2:1

Bioavailable Calcium and Magnesium
A synergistic formulation of calcium and magnesium in the standard 2:1 ratio to help support bone, muscle, and cardiovascular health.*
Each 2-capsule serving provides 300 mg of elemental calcium and 150 mg of elemental magnesium in a highly bioavailable form.
• Supports bone structure and function*
• Supports healthy muscle function*
• Supports healthy cardiovascular function*
• Supports 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 2:1
Bioavailable Calcium and Magnesium Malate in a 2:1 Ratio for Bone, Muscle, and Cardiovascular Health*
Key Performance Benefits
- Supports bone structure and function*
- Supports healthy muscle function*
- Supports healthy cardiovascular function*
- Supports healthy blood pressure*
What This Product Is
Cal/Mag 2:1 delivers both calcium and magnesium in a 2:1 ratio to support bone health, muscle health, and cardiovascular function. Each 2-capsule serving provides 300 mg of elemental calcium (as DimaCal® Di-Calcium Malate) and 150 mg of elemental magnesium (as Di-Magnesium Malate) in a highly bioavailable form to 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. A 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio aligns with the body’s requirement for higher calcium than magnesium and could help reduce potential nutrient deficiencies.*
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. The 2:1 ratio provides proportionally more calcium to reflect the body’s higher calcium requirements for skeletal health.*
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 calcium-prioritized mineral support for bone health*
- Those looking to support healthy muscle function and cardiovascular health*
- Individuals seeking a 2:1 ratio that aligns with the body’s higher calcium requirements*
- 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 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio?
A 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio aligns with the body’s requirement for higher calcium than magnesium, reflecting the proportional needs for skeletal and overall health. For equal proportions of both minerals, Designs for Health also offers Cal/Mag 1:1.*
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 2:1?
Individuals seeking calcium-prioritized mineral support for bone, muscle, and cardiovascular health may benefit — particularly those looking for a ratio that aligns with the body’s higher calcium requirements.*
