How can this ratio be put back into balance? What can be done to improve calcium absorbtion?
The optimum ratio of calcium : magnesium in our bodies is 5 : 3 and that is actually the ratio in dolomite which contains calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate in the ratio 5 : 3. To improve calcium absorption you could take a vitamin D capsule every day. If you want to want to acquire the 5 : 3 ratio perhaps you could take a dolomite supplement every day or some other mixed calcium/magnesium supplement. A good calcium/magnesium intake per day is 1,000 mg of calcium and 600 mg of magnesium.
