Do you know what’s in your calcium supplement?
Nearly 40% of Americans take a calcium supplement. And that jumps to 70% for older Americans. But do you know the effectiveness of your calcium? If you take some of the most common supplements available it’s low-grade calcium carbonate.
If you’ve ever had reflux after taking your calcium supplement, you know what low-grade feels like.
Ultra CalMag uses a patented form of pharmaceutical-grade calcium. This bioavailable calcium means your body absorbs more. And it reduces the gas and bloating feeling that most supplements give you. So, you benefit not only in your wallet, but in your body as well.
Signs of Calcium Deficiency
Calcium is an essential mineral in your body. It is important in bone health as well as:
- Regulating hormones
- Regulating blood viscosity (blood clotting agent)
- And Reducing High Blood Pressure
Your heart, muscles, and nerves also need calcium to function. However, your body doesn’t make its own calcium. You only get it from your diet.
Common signs of low calcium include fatigue, chest pains, muscle spasms, depression and dry skin.
Individuals who are most at risk for low calcium intake are:
- Gluten Sensitive/Celiac
- Peri- and post-menopausal women
- Individuals with High Blood Pressure
- Pregnant women
- Individuals on prescription and OTC medications
- Individuals with Vitamin D deficiency
Why Ultra CalMag?
Ultra CalMag is a custom blend of DiCalcium Malate (derived from apples) and DiMagnesium Malate (derived from fruits such as oranges). These are bioavailable minerals for greater absorption. Ultra CalMag’s 2:1 ratio ensures your body has the proper amount of both minerals.
Ultra CalMag uses only pharmaceutical-grade or better ingredients in our supplements. So, we guarantee that our products are:
- MSG free,
- NO wheat/gluten,
- NO corn/zein/starch,
- NO dairy/casein/whey/ milk derivatives,
- NO yeast or soy,
- NO sulfate,
- NO phosphates (other than coenzymes),
- NO preservatives and
- GMO free*
DiMagnesium Malate has an energizing property. This means it’s best as a morning supplement. This form of magnesium is also gentle on your digestive system. No extra laxative here.
What does Magnesium have to do with Calcium?
Magnesium is a sister mineral to calcium. It helps your body absorb calcium in many ways.
First, it stimulates the hormone calcitonin. This helps preserve bone structure. It draws calcium out of the blood and puts it back into the bone.
Secondly, Magnesium converts vitamin D into its active form. Vitamin D is required for your body to absorb calcium as well.
The Science Behind It
DiCalcium Malate consists of one molecule of malic acid bound to two molecules of calcium. This creates a compound that is 29% calcium – compared to calcium citrate, which is 19% calcium. This means more elemental calcium per capsule.
Di Magnesium Malate combines 2 magnesium ions with one molecule of malic acid. The weak bond between the magnesium and malic acid makes it easily soluble in the body.
Malic acid is an organic compound found in apples and other tart fruits. It helps to neutralize stomach acid – making it gentle on the digestive system. It also binds to toxic metals, like aluminum, rendering them ineffective.

Excellent quality! Most of us are deficient in calcium & magnesium, which leads to all kinds of health issues – I personally take these every day. No hidden ingredients or coatings that contain gut-disrupting grain or soy.
Eric Changelian –
Jen, what is the daily dosage for capsules? The label doesn’t say. Also, does this magnesium have a laxative effect? Something I don’t want to have happen with having Crohns Disease.

The cal/mag ratio is so important for your heart, and most calcium available is artificially/ chemically made so the body can’t absorb it. This product helps with leg cramps, keeps the heart healthy and keeps other functions of the body working right. I am severe celiac, so finding a true GF cal /mag is wonderful!

I purchased Ultra Cal/Mag after experiencing some nerve tingling sensation and had even gone to a medical doctor, but they said nothing is wrong. After researching this topic in Gluten Society, I read that these kinds of symptoms can stem from a deficiency of calcium and magnesium in the body. Amazingly, after purchasing Ultra Cal/Mag, I have experienced a major reduction in these symptoms and will continue to use to treat it over time. THANKS!

In turning 50, for the first time in my life, I felt poor blood circulation. Taking Ultra Cal/Mag immediately remedied tingling in my fingers likely due to poor blood circulation.
