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

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.

Terry,
I have trouble with all calcium for it constapates me.  Can gelatin substitute 
for calcium pills?
Note: my nails are very stong as is my hair, but I think I need calcium.
Thanks
