Procedure

Calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide are provided in a ratio of 5:4 by weight. However, while the major component by weight is calcium carbonate, elementally magnesium oxide outweighs calcium carbonate by about 2:1. (The 5:4 ratio of calcium carbonate to magnesium oxide actually results in 1.25 parts elemental calcium to 2.16 parts elemental magnesium.) This ratio gives the user a significantly higher amount of magnesium that is being taken up from the food supply.
