I have had several posts relating to my suggesting additional
calcium/magnesium from mid-cycle to second day of period.  I suggested 500mg
of ca with an accompanying 250 of mag.  That is a starting suggestion.  Some
women have had to increase their intake to 1000mg ca with 500mg mag during
this part of their cycle.

There is no problem with taking that much calcium if it is taken with
magnesium in a 2/1 ratio.
