Gail , 1000 each calcium and magnesium is not how I read it.Here's what I saw: Natures Bounty Coral Calcium-1000 Mg/Puritan Pride-Chelated Calcium Magnesium Zinc-1000Mg. Since the Puritan's Pride lists Calcium first it is probably equal to or more than the Magnesium. Most supplements have cal/mag at 2/1 so this looked like a total of 2000 mg calcium to 500 mg magnesium. Anyway this looks like 4 to 1 and the old rule was 2 to 1. Now you see more recommendations for 1 to 1 or 1 to 2. I think that the exact amount and ratio depends on many variables such as how much dairy you consume, your vitamin d levels, what foods you regularly take in like green veggies, whether you take HCL with your foods, etc. All that being said, 2000 mg calcium is way too much calcium to be taking, especially for someone with hypothyroid/fibromyalgia symptoms.

Pat, Connie said she was taking 1000mg each of calcium and magnesium. You say this is way too much calcium. How much calcium would you suggest along with magnesium?
