i hadn't realised magnesium( among other things) was so important in the absorption of calcium and vit d. Several internet postings suggest that we should take the same amount of magnesium as we do calcium.Ive just looked at my supplement tablets and they contain 300mg magnesium and calcium 800 mg (per 2 tablets taken at different times) amongst other things .any thoughts?

You can control the amount of magnesium by taking less especially if the advice is to take equal to calcium.
With calcium tablets I only take one if I believe my calcium via foods is insufficient.
Can you put this under osteoporosis and osteopenia as well. People will be missing some of these posts as they only refer to the osteoporosis forum.

I've created a discussion called Osteoporosis and Supplements, in Osteoporosis and Osteopenia. The Link is given below.
