Finally got some Calcium Magnesium!

The nearest Walmart is 30 miles away, so I don't get out there too often.  The only other places that would have a supplement like this are over 60 miles away.  Today I ran into town so I did a Walmart trip for some Calcium Magnesium. 

The only one they had also had Zinc and Vitamin D3.  The serving size is 3 pills.  I called my Midwife group to get it OK'd before taking it and the nurse said that I just had to make sure to only have 1200-1500 mg Calcium and 400-500 mg Magnesium per day.  That includes what I'm eating!   3 pills of this has 1000 mg Calcium and 400 mg Magnesium... so, I can't take all three of them, but today I took one and we'll see how it goes :)

  1. Try looking at Amazon.com. Depends what you buy and who you buy from, sometimes you can get free shipping from either Amazon (usually $25 minimum), or the seller themselves. The prices on Amazon can sometimes be better as well.

    1. I did... and we do have amazon prime, so shipping is normally free. But because we live so far out, this was an "add-on item" meaning we had to purchase something more expensive in order to get the free shipping.

      One of the very few downfalls of rural life. I'll certainly deal with it for all the perks I get :)

  2. I hope that one works for you. The kind that I know really works is in powder form, so it gets in your system much quicker I think. Let me know how it goes! If you do end up having to get something at Amazon, the kind I use is made by Natural Calm. I'll look up a link for you : )

  3. Ok. So here is a link to the one I use. It lasts a super long time. You will only need to buy one. My midwife said taking this was fine. Read the description- it even talks about cramping! I hope your's works for you though!
