Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) by Pure Encapsulations – Calcium Magnesium Supplement for Bone Health
Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) by Pure Encapsulations is a vegan capsule formula that supplies calcium as DimaCal® di-calcium malate and magnesium as di-magnesium malate. This calcium magnesium supplement provides 390 mg of calcium and 195 mg of magnesium per serving for targeted mineral intake.
The two chelated mineral forms are paired with malate, a Krebs cycle intermediate, to support absorption. Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) offers bone health support while helping maintain normal cardiovascular function and electrolyte balance.
Key Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) Benefits
- Provides calcium malate and magnesium malate in a two-to-one elemental mineral ratio.
- Supports normal bone mineralization with calcium and magnesium.
- Helps maintain cellular and plasma electrolyte levels.
- Provides muscle function support through two essential dietary minerals.
- Offers a focused mineral supplement made with vegan ingredients.
How Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) Works
Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) works by providing chelated calcium and magnesium bound to malate for absorption and complementary mineral activity. Calcium contributes to the structural mineral matrix of bone, while magnesium participates in bone metabolism and helps maintain electrolyte balance. Together, the two minerals also support normal muscle, nerve, and cardiovascular physiology.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Calcium: Provides 390 mg per serving as DimaCal® di-calcium malate to support bone mineral density and normal skeletal maintenance.
- Magnesium: Provides 195 mg per serving as di-magnesium malate to support bone metabolism, electrolyte regulation, and normal neuromuscular activity.
Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) is a vegan calcium magnesium formula made without wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, gluten, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, unnecessary binders, fillers, preservatives, or magnesium stearate.
Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking calcium and magnesium in chelated malate forms
- People whose dietary plan calls for supplemental bone-support minerals
- Adults looking to maintain normal muscle and nerve activity
- People who prefer a focused, vegan mineral formula

Frequently Asked Questions About Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate)
What are the benefits of Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate)?
Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) promotes daily mineral nutrition through complementary calcium and magnesium forms. Calcium supplies material used in normal skeletal mineralization, and magnesium participates in processes that maintain bone metabolism. Each labelled serving supplies 390 mg calcium alongside 195 mg magnesium, creating a clearly defined two-to-one elemental ratio. DimaCal® di-calcium malate and di-magnesium malate are chelated with malate, which the manufacturer identifies as a feature supporting absorption. The pairing also contributes to ordinary neuromuscular activity and the regulation of cellular and plasma electrolytes. This makes the formula relevant when a practitioner recommends coordinated intake of both minerals rather than a single-mineral product.
Who should take Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate)?
Adults ages 18 and older may take Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) when additional calcium and magnesium fit an individualized nutrition plan. It may suit people whose practitioner wants a chelated malate formula for skeletal maintenance, ordinary muscle activity, or mineral balance. The vegan capsule and short excipient list may also appeal to customers avoiding sesame, peanuts, tree nuts, gluten, eggs, dairy, soy, wheat, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, and magnesium stearate. Individual mineral needs differ according to food intake, health history, laboratory findings, and medications. A healthcare professional can help determine whether the formula's two-to-one elemental ratio and labelled serving fit a person's broader supplement routine.
Are there any side effects of taking Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate)?
Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) can cause concerns when supplemental minerals are not appropriate for an individual's health status, medication plan, or total dietary intake. The manufacturer's warning states: If you are pregnant or lactating, have any health condition or are taking any medication, consult your health professional before use. The calcium trial linked above also reported constipation more often in the supplemented group, although that study evaluated calcium citrate rather than this finished product. Customers should not infer that a chelated form eliminates the possibility of digestive tolerance issues. Anyone who notices an unwanted effect should stop using the product and contact a qualified practitioner. Professional review is especially important when several products already contribute calcium or magnesium to the same daily regimen.
How does Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) support overall health?
Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) supports overall health by supplying two essential minerals involved in skeletal structure, neuromuscular signaling, and electrolyte regulation. Calcium is a major constituent of the mineralized skeleton and also participates in normal cell communication and contraction. Magnesium functions as a cofactor in numerous metabolic processes and contributes to ordinary nerve and muscle physiology. Malate serves as the chelating partner in DimaCal® di-calcium malate and di-magnesium malate, creating the specific forms used in this formula. The combined serving is designed for coordinated intake rather than broad multinutrient coverage. Cal/Mag 2:1 (malate) should therefore complement a balanced diet and a practitioner-guided plan, not replace varied foods or individualized medical care.
