Experience with Calcium

[Guest guest]

And now a question for the group. Over the last few years we both have

gotten some help for leg pains by taking an extra dose of calcium in the

evening. Along with the calcium I am giving a dose of magnesium to help with

utilization of the calcium. Currently I have been giving a tablet that

provides 50% of rated calcium needs. The magnesium provides 60% of rated

needs. This particular calcium pill also comes with extra vitamin e (50% dose).

Now the question. Lately I seem to notice that Peg has worse mornings after

evenings when she has taken the calcium pill. This may be coincidental.

However has anyone else noticed a connection between taking calcium and

negative MSA symptoms, especially symptoms indicating a loss of logic and

memory and a facility with words?

Not all calciums are equal, some metabolize more quicky and

more completely than others. Vitamin's C and D are also need to

metabolize.. I drink warm milk before bed, take up to 100 mg of

Vit. C. unless I've had enough orange juice and pack in all the needed

sunlight (20 minutes) for vitamin D. Just a personal preference for

naturally occuring calcium, so far so good. Magnesium screws up my

meds, so I take no supplements.
