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?

How's the experience so far? Any noticable effect, comparing to glycinate or threonate?

I'm exclusively using our Micromag now. I prefer it for the ease of just taking a single capsule and not having any other effects from chelated amino acid pairs. I can take glycine at night if I want to sleep, or threonic acid during the day.
