The recommended amount of 1,000 mg per day can be obtained mostly from a balanced diet. A natural multi-vitamin-mineral supplement can be used to make up for any deficiency. When choosing a supplement, make sure it includes Calcium amounts at about 50 % the amount of Magnesium, for proper balance. Avoid multi-mineral supplements that include Iron because it cancels Magnesium.
