90,000 vitamin A and calcium advice

[Guest guest]

I was reading old messages where some girls took 90,000 IU vitamin A for three

months to help with severe PMS symptoms. Is that still a reccomended treatment

for PMS? Is it safe?

I also ordered 500 mg calcium supplement from I-herb but it came in capsule

form. I don't know if I should break it open and take the whole thing at once

along with the magnesium? Is it okay if I only take 500 mg of calcium and

magnesium a day? My magnesium supplements can be taken 2x per day because they

are 250 mg pills.

Thanks,

Celeste

+++Hi Celeste,

I would be more conservative and recommend you start taking 60,000 IU vitamin A

5 days before your period, during your period, and then stop. Do this 3 months

in a row only.

Break open the capsule so you are taking closer to the correct amount, i.e. 600

total per day. You also need a 100 mg more magnesium.
