Wow, thanks .  I'll have to double check with our DAN to see where our Vit D levels are.  I suspect I'm way under-dosing Vit D.

 

It took over 1y of 5000iu/day of D3 to get my 120# daughter's levels from 19 to 76[our doc likes to see over 80.] For some reason, testing last fall showed a decline to 58. We did 10,000iu/day for 2 mos which got levels back to 86. Recommendations now of 8-9000/day for maintenance from our doc.

we use buffered mag oxide because the citrate causes the runs for our son,he is fine on the oxide ,didnt know it may be a problem

 

Mag Oxide, like Oxypowder would be very appropriate if the child has constipation, especially if it has been a problem for a long time like it is in so many of our kids. It should be paired w as much vitamin C as it takes to support the child, (1000mg per day in our house) until BMs are coming at a regular frequency then citrate form of magenesium would be the best ongoing, going forward for a good every day magnesium.

The Oxypowder Web Site is interesting as is Carolyn Dean's book magnesium miracle.> > >   > > > > > >  > Hi Everyone,>   > Because Vitamin D is one is one of the nutrients the majority of us are deficient in, I thought I'd share a couple of points about it I've recently learned:>  > 1) Vitamin requires magnesium for proper absorbtion - so make sure you and your kiddo are getting plenty.  You can give them 1,000,000 iu's a day, but if there is no magnesium to assist, its a complete waste of time.

I give my 3 year old son a multivitamin 2x a day with 200 mg of magnesium in it AND one Thorne Research Magnesium Citrate 140 mg, so total 340mg a day.That works for my son.

My aunt has always been constipated and tried everything. I bought her the magnesium and told her to take it 2x a day and she hasn't been constipated since, that was 2 months ago, now she hates doctors. :-) She has been to specialists and nothing has worked.

Good luck!
