Dear Lea Ann, Thanks for the information, I do take magnesium but I do not know if it is 1 to 1 ratio, for it is in liquid form. I stopped that for I still had trouble. Thanks again mary
-------------- Original message from "Lea Ann" <[email protected]>: -------------- Hello Mary, Whenever I take calcium I take an equal amount of magnesium and it prevents the constipating effect of calcium (for me). Traditionally you are supposed to take cacium in a 2 to 1 ration to magnesium but I find that it works better for me if I take them in a one to one ratio.

Can gelatin substitute for calcium pills? Note: my nails are very stong as is my hair, but I think I need calcium. Thanks mary
