Absorption of calcium and magnesium taken simultaneously?

Original post in this thread

I know that calcium and magnesium compete for absorption and that it's best to spread them out.

However, it's still super convenient to put a bunch of magnesium in my dairy-based smoothie. So I consume magnesium and calcium together in every sip. The amount of magnesium in my smoothies is roughly equal to the amount of calcium.

Is it reasonable to assume that I absorb approx half of the magnesium that I would if I took without calcium?

This is very helpful, thanks. Can you recommend any other chelates that should work well with dairy?

L-threonate is the most common one other people use. I have started going a different route, though. I've been using our Micromag instead. That envelops a magnesium oxide particle in a phospholipid layer encased by a sucrester, which allows for active transport of the magnesium across cell membranes. It has a much higher amount of elemental magnesium per mg than chelated forms.

Best type of magnesium to reduce amphetamine tolerance?

Magnesium is not going to reduce your tolerance. You'll need something stronger like memantine for that. Even then, it takes a combination of memantine and time off. Some people have had good results with DXM too. Magn
