How much Natural Calm can I take?
How much Natural Calm should I take?
What is the upper limit of intake for my weight?
Why does the US version have 150% of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance)?
Does Natural Calm have any side effects?
What is the toxic level of Magnesium?
Answer
Natural Calm is made from a proprietary blend of Magnesium Carbonate and Citric Acid. Hot water is needed to activate the two products to create Magnesium Citrate, a highly bioavailable source of magnesium. Natural Calm is a low cost powder with a high effectiveness of a liquid. All minerals need to be in an acidic solution to be absorbed and magnesium citrate is very absorbable in a liquid form.
The questions above have more to do with magnesium intake as Natural Calm is a magnesium supplement.
Magnesium is the 4th most abundant mineral in our body and necessary for over 300 body functions.
RDA
The RDA for an adult is around 400mg. This number is selected as a safe number for the average person; one RDA for all adults whether you are 250lb or 100lb, active or not. We believe the number is on the low side of what most of us need. You do need a starting point and an idea of what is typical, even if it is on the lower side.
Magnesium Requirements
There are many factors that will vary our magnesium needs.
- The more stress you are under, the more magnesium you need.
- The more you use your brain in thinking, the more magnesium you use.
- The more active you are the more magnesium you use up.
- The larger frame you are, they more magnesium you require.
- Prescription drugs (and illegal drugs) and alcohol require extra magnesium
- Your bones are 2:1 calcium/magnesium ratio while your brain is more like 2:1 Mg:Ca
Magnesium Intake
Magnesium is found in many food sources but over processing depletes the magnesium in our foods as most of the magnesium ends up in the water we cook with. There is less magnesium in our foods now than in the 1950s due to over farming, increased yields, less top soil and no magnesium fertilisation. It is our opinion that we are not consuming as much magnesium in our foods as we think.
Another problem is that most of our diet is acidic and the magnesium and calcium in our diets are used to neutralise the acidic foods.
People tend to be worried about not enough calcium and consume extra calcium. Magnesium is needed to absorb calcium as our bones are 2:1 calcium:magnesium ratio. Many people have excess calcium in their bodies which will cause calcium deposits. Examples of calcium deposits include kidney stones, some forms of arthritis, and bone spurs.
Can I Take Too Much?
If you take too much magnesium, as with vitamin C, the body will use what it needs and eliminate any excess. The excess will go into the colon, causing it to hydrate and the effects are stools that are too loose. i.e. you will get the runs. So you really can not get too much. The only deviation on this is if you have kidney problems. Because the excess goes through your kidneys into your colon, a weak kidney could be a problem. While doctors will warn you about too much magnesium being hard on your kidneys, we want to warn you that too little magnesium will be hard on your heart, and muscles and your body in general. It can contribute to a host of problems (tinnitus, bronchitis, asthma, bone deformities, etc).
So How Much Should I Take?
Well, we believe that you need to educate yourself and get to know your body. Your body will tell you. We believe that you should increase your magnesium intake until your stools become comfortably loose. Then you are at your optimal level. You may need to increase or decrease your levels as your stress levels, brain usage and physical activity change. Often you need to start at a lower lever until your body gets used to it and then slowly increase.
We also believe that 70-90% of the population is deficient in magnesium and needs a lot of catching up to do (could take more than a year). Once you have caught up you can go to a maintenance level.
We recommend 150% of the RDA because we believe that
- Most people are deficient
- That the RDA is on the low side
- Most of the magnesium is going to calcium absorption and neutralizing an acidic diet
- Consuming only the RDA levels will not leave enough to combat insomnia, heart palpitations, muscle aches and other symptoms
Natural Calm is available in North America, Europe, Holland and the UK

I’ve been taking 400mg tablet magnesium successfully. I’ve tried Natural Calm twice and it causes me extreme bloating in the stomach. I used cold water, will hot water make a difference?
Hi David - Yes, it needs hot water to activate it. When you add hot water, the ingredients combine and make magnesium citrate and it effloresces (fizzes). If you don’t add hot water it will effloresce in your stomach and cause bloating.
Thanks for posting about this, I would love to read more about this topic.

Hi - I have two questions:
Is the drink still effective if it was made a couple of days ago?
Can I make it and mix it with some other drink after it’s cooled?
(The flavored ones have become too sweet - I think they’ve added more stevia over the last year - and I am not a huge fan of the unflavored one.
Thanks!
Очень интересно !
nice job men:)
Great post! Just wanted to let you know you have a new subscriber- me!
I have horrible anxiety attacks where my BP goes so high, today I cannot get the BP down very low. I have taken 1000mg. already and wonder if I can take some more, no loose stool yet, have had 3 today. I have been on the natural calm 1 1/2 weeks……I really need something to take away the anxiety………
Hi Donna - It could take a while for your body to get past being magnesium deficient. While magnesium is necessary to relax you and de-stress you, there is more to anxiety than just magnesium deficiency. Keep increasing your dosage until your stools are comfortably loose. Also, try and minimize the triggers that stress you.
Very nice Blog, I will tell my friends about it.
Thanks
Hey, I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say GREAT blog!…..I”ll be checking in on a regularly now….Keep up the good work!
I am the first time on this site and am really enthusiastic about and so many good articles. I think it’s just very good.
Always yours Mr. Cialis
When you say increase the dose slowly how slowly do you have to? I started taking it for my extreme IBS constipation and I’m almost done my container with no relief.
Thanks.
