Can I take Adcal d3 and Magnesium glycinate together?

Why this happens

Calcium and magnesium use the same 'pathways' to be absorbed from your gut into your bloodstream. If taken at the exact same time in large amounts, they can crowd each other out. Furthermore, both minerals can draw water into the bowel, which may cause loose stools.

It is best to space these supplements out. Try to take your Adcal-D3 and your magnesium glycinate at least 2 hours apart to ensure your body absorbs as much of each mineral as possible. If you experience any diarrhoea or stomach cramping, speak with your pharmacist about adjusting the timing or dose.
