Liquid Calcium Magnesium Berry 1:1 by Integrative Therapeutics

If you want calcium magnesium without swallowing large tablets, a liquid 1:1 calcium citrate and magnesium citrate is a practical pick. It suits adults with low dairy intake, post‑menopausal women aiming for steady bone support, and people on acid‑reducing drugs where citrate absorbs better than carbonate. If your Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy is in the lower range, the included vitamin D3 helps with absorption, though 200 IU is a maintenance add, not a repletion dose.

Calcium citrate provides the raw material for bone and teeth, and it is well absorbed even when stomach acid is low. Magnesium citrate helps enzymes build bone matrix and relaxes muscle after contraction, which is why leg cramp frequency can improve in those who were low. Vitamin D3 improves calcium uptake in the gut and tempers parathyroid hormone (the signal that pulls calcium from bone). Taken with meals, calcium also binds oxalate in the gut, which can lower oxalate absorption.

Take 1 tablespoon daily with food, as the manufacturer suggests. If your stomach is sensitive, split the dose with two meals. Magnesium citrate can loosen stools; reduce the amount or divide it if that happens. If you also take iron, separate by at least 2 hours and follow your Ferritin strategy with your clinician, since calcium competes with iron absorption at the same meal.

Calcium and magnesium bind many medicines in the gut. Separate by 4 hours from levothyroxine, tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotics, and bisphosphonates. Space 2 hours from zinc or iron supplements. Thiazide diuretics (blood pressure medicines that reduce calcium loss) can raise blood calcium; loop diuretics do the opposite. If you use these, coordinate dosing and labs with your clinician.

Skip or use only under medical guidance if you have a history of high blood calcium, recurrent kidney stones, hyperparathyroidism, granulomatous diseases like sarcoidosis, or chronic kidney disease. If your Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy is meaningfully low, 200 IU is usually not enough to replete; correct the level first, then use a maintenance calcium magnesium plan.
