Description

Thorne's Calcium-Magnesium Malate is a convenient way to support bone and muscle health.* The easy-to-consume calcium and magnesium supplement is in an optimally absorbed form, so the minerals can get to work right away. 

Magnesium and calcium work together in muscle cells – magnesium causes muscle fibers to relax, while calcium causes them to contract.* And because the heart is a muscle these minerals are both important to help maintain normal heart rhythm.* 

How much magnesium and calcium do you need? The appropriate intake ratio of calcium to magnesium varies, with some scientific literature supporting a 2:1 ratio (twice as much calcium as magnesium), with other experts recommending a 1:1 ratio. Thorne’s Calcium-Magnesium Malate provides a 1:1 ratio. 


Why is calcium important?

  • Studies on calcium and bone mass show that daily supplementation of a well-absorbed form of calcium promotes bone mass in adolescents, young adults, older men, and postmenopausal women.*


Why is magnesium important?

  • Magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because it is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions.
  • Magnesium is essential to help maintain a healthy heart and blood vessels, for brain, bone, muscle, and lung health, and for healthy levels of blood sugar.*
  • Magnesium relaxes smooth and skeletal muscle.*
  • Magnesium and enzymes are cofactors needed to produce cellular energy.*

FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is Thorne Calcium-Magnesium Malate worth buying compared to other calcium supplements?

Thorne's Calcium-Magnesium Malate stands out because it uses a highly bioavailable malate form, meaning your body absorbs it more efficiently than cheaper alternatives like calcium carbonate. You also get both calcium and magnesium in one product, which work synergistically for bone, muscle, and heart health. If absorption quality and ingredient integrity matter to you, this is a strong choice for a dual-mineral supplement.

What is the return policy if this supplement doesn't work for me?

Thorne offers a satisfaction guarantee on their products. If you're unsatisfied with your purchase, you can typically return it within 30 days for a refund or exchange. We recommend checking the specific return policy on the product page or contacting customer support directly to confirm current terms before purchasing.

What does Calcium-Magnesium Malate actually do for your body?

Calcium and magnesium are essential minerals that support bone density, muscle function, and heart rhythm. Calcium triggers muscle contractions while magnesium helps muscles relax — a balance critical for everyday movement and recovery. The malate form enhances absorption so these minerals are utilized more effectively compared to standard forms.

When is the best time to take Calcium-Magnesium Malate?

Many people take calcium and magnesium supplements in the evening since magnesium supports muscle relaxation and may promote restful sleep. Taking it with food can improve absorption and reduce any potential stomach discomfort. Always follow the dosage instructions on the label or consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

Is this supplement safe to take with other vitamins or medications?

Calcium and magnesium can interact with certain medications, including antibiotics, blood pressure drugs, and thyroid medications. It's important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining this supplement with prescriptions. Generally, spacing it two hours apart from other medications helps minimize interactions. Thorne products are manufactured to high purity standards, free from many common additives.

Who should consider taking a Calcium-Magnesium Malate supplement?

This supplement is ideal for adults looking to support bone strength, muscle recovery, or cardiovascular health. It's especially beneficial for athletes, older adults at risk of bone loss, or anyone with dietary gaps in calcium or magnesium intake. People who experience muscle cramps or tension may also find magnesium supplementation particularly helpful.
