Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hello friends, I am planning to take a test to become a diabetic educator. Does Anyone has a suggestion for a good review book?? Thanks in advance. Jigna mehta, RD > > Sometimes it's not the vitamin but the excipients in the vitamin. For example, if the supplement contains soy and she has a soy allergy or sensitivity, it might be the soy, not the vitamin D that is causing the problem. I'd start there first. If she has a problem with the soy, Bluebonnet sells a tablet without the soy. Also, magnesium is vitamin D's biggest cofactor...... I would also add some magnesium (not oxide) to her supplementation regimen to make it more effective. > > > > > > Subject: help with OTC vitamin D side effects > To: rd-usa > Date: Friday, July 13, 2012, 9:32 AM > > Hi everyone! > I have a client who is coming to me with questions about side effects she's > had when trying to supplement with vitamin D.
