I looked on my mineral bottle, the one I use to add minerals to my water when 
I make coffee, tea, or drink it. It lists magnesium first, and has only very 
little calcium. I have to limit my calcium intake because I get breast lumps 
and bone deposits, and I always worry about kidney stones. I've only started 
getting those things since we moved here and began drinking the very soft 
water with no minerals. Since adding the drops, I have not noticed any new 
deposits. I suspect the little old dog I mentioned earlier had kidney stones, 
because she would get blood in her urine until I added the drops to her 
drinking water. (I know it was blood in urine, and not just her bleeding 
because she was in heat).

 Taking calcium by itself will only cause the extra calcium to wind up places
 you don't want it like stones of calcium deposits.  Our bodies can't use
 calcium by itself.  It needs magnesium as a co-enzyme to put it into a
 useable form.  Vitamin D is also used in a later step.  Magnesium deficiency
 is the most common cause for arterial damage also.  People who drink very
 soft water or do not eat enough veggies (or eat only store veggies that are
 grown in depleted soils that have been re-fertilized with chemical
 fertilizer) often have magnesium deficiencies.
