Cal-Mag Citrate With D-2 (1-1 Ratio) - 180ct by Solaray
Experience the Power of Solaray Cal-Mag Citrate With D-2 (1-1 Ratio) for Enhanced Bone Health
Unlock the secret to comprehensive skeletal, muscular, and cardiovascular wellness with Solaray Cal-Mag Citrate With D-2 (1-1 Ratio). While conventional supplements provide a traditional 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium balance, modern research reveals that an equal 1:1 ratio provides powerful restorative benefits—especially for individuals seeking enhanced muscle relaxation, heart support, and balanced mineral absorption without the gastrointestinal sluggishness often caused by calcium alone. Solaray’s advanced formula delivers 1,000 mg of Calcium and 1,000 mg of Magnesium per serving, chemically bonded to natural citric acid. This organic chelation creates highly bioavailable Calcium Citrate and Magnesium Citrate, which are absorbed more smoothly by the digestive tract than common mineral carbonates or oxides. Fortified with plant-derived Vitamin D-2 (Ergocalciferol) and a nutrient-rich botanical base, this supplement provides targeted nutritional support designed to help you stay active, flexible, and strong.Why Choose a 1:1 Ratio of Calcium to Magnesium?
Most diets today are naturally low in magnesium, a vital macromineral required as a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions. Taking high-dose calcium without proportional magnesium can lead to competitive absorption issues and unwanted mineral accumulation. Solaray’s 1:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio ensures optimal equilibrium:- Dual Skeletal Mineralization: Calcium forms the structural framework of bone tissue and teeth, while magnesium stimulates the hormone calcitonin, helping draw calcium out of soft tissue and blood vessels and directly into bone matrix.
- Balanced Neuromuscular Harmony: Calcium signals muscle fibers to contract, while magnesium signals them to release. An equal 1:1 balance helps soothe nighttime muscle cramps, leg tension, and daytime physical stress.
- Cardiovascular & Arterial Support: Proper magnesium levels prevent calcium from depositing inappropriately in soft tissues and arterial walls, promoting relaxed blood vessels and healthy blood flow.
- Digestive Regularity: Calcium alone is notorious for causing occasional constipation; the balancing effect of magnesium citrate supports smooth, regular digestion.
Key Product Highlights & Benefits
- Bioavailable Citrate Chelation: Calcium and magnesium are chelated to natural citric acid. Because citrates do not depend heavily on stomach acid for breakdown, they are exceptionally gentle on sensitive stomachs and suitable for adults of all ages.
- Enhanced Calcium Absorption with Vitamin D-2: Formulated with 10 mcg (400 IU) of Vitamin D-2 (as Ergocalciferol) to stimulate intestinal calcium uptake and facilitate active transport into the bloodstream.
- Synergistic Sun-Grown Botanical Base: Every serving includes a proprietary herbal base containing Alfalfa Leaf, Parsley Leaf, Watercress Leaf, and Dandelion Root to provide naturally occurring trace minerals, phytonutrients, and enhanced digestive assimilation.
- 100% Vegan & Non-GMO: Encapsulated in clean Vegetable Cellulose VegCaps, free of artificial binders, fillers, and animal gelatins.
- Triple-Tested Purity: Manufactured in an NSF-certified GMP facility and rigorously lab-tested for potency, heavy metals, microbials, and purity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is Solaray Cal-Mag formulated in a 1:1 ratio instead of the traditional 2:1?
While a 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio has historically been common, modern dietary patterns typically supply far less magnesium than needed. When calcium intake vastly exceeds magnesium, the minerals compete for intestinal receptor sites, reducing magnesium absorption. A 1:1 ratio provides equal elemental support, helping to activate Vitamin D, support muscle relaxation, and prevent soft-tissue calcification.What are the advantages of Calcium Citrate and Magnesium Citrate?
Mineral citrates are bound to citric acid, making them significantly more soluble and bioavailable than mineral carbonates or oxides. They can be absorbed easily even if you have low stomach acid, and they can be taken with or without food without causing severe gas, bloating, or digestive discomfort.What role does Vitamin D-2 play in this formula?
Vitamin D-2 (Ergocalciferol) is a vegetarian form of Vitamin D that acts as the primary gatekeeper for mineral metabolism. It stimulates the proteins in the small intestine responsible for absorbing calcium into the bloodstream, ensuring that the 1,000 mg of calcium you ingest is efficiently used rather than excreted.Why does the formula include Parsley, Watercress, Alfalfa, and Dandelion?
Solaray includes a specialized whole-plant botanical base because natural herbs contain trace elements, flavonoids, and chlorophyll. These plant compounds provide nutritive cofactors that support natural digestion and holistic nutrient uptake.Do I need to swallow all 6 VegCaps at the same time?
No. While you can take all 6 capsules together with a full meal, taking divided doses - such as 3 capsules in the morning and 3 capsules in the evening - allows your intestinal mineral transporters to process both calcium and magnesium at peak efficiency while providing sustained muscle support throughout day and night.Is this product suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Solaray Cal-Mag Citrate With D-2 utilizes vegetable cellulose capsules and vegetarian-sourced Ergocalciferol (D-2), making it 100% vegan- and vegetarian-friendly.
