RE: Re: legal calcium/magnesium supplement

Check this out. http://www.digestivewellness.com/itempage-2089-24-15-1633.html I would never buy a supplement that has 1000mg calcium in 1 pill. The reason behind this is because in the past companies would advertise huge amounts of calcium in an easy to take single dose. What was happening wad that they would pack it together so tightly that it would not desolve and you'd have a calcium pill go right through you without dissolving. Like a piece of cement. The ones listed on that site is 5 pills=1000mg calcium and 400mg magnesium. Also, if you can tolerate it, eat a banana when you take it and spread all 5 pills throughout the day for better absoption. Calcium, magnesium, and potassium (banana) all work in synergy which means they work better when combined than when you take them individually. So, to get the most benefit you should take all 3 at once.hope this helps.-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 7 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 5 pills a dayTo: BTVC-SCD From: maregug@...Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 03:36:40 +0000Subject: Re: legal calcium/magnesium supplement

Theresa,

I don't take a calcium supplement, but my magnesium is Natural Calm and my D-3 is NSI Vitamin D drops. The Natural Calm should be plain flavor, as the the flavored stuff is not legal. It mixes with water, but you can also add juice. I don't find the taste at all objectionable, so I drink it straight. It's kind of pricey, or I should say it was pricey in my local mountain-resort-town health food store, but you can likely find it cheaper on-line or at a mega-vitamin store. The NSI Vitamin D drops are just D-3 dissolved in olive oil. It was relatively inexpensive on the Vitacost site, and each drop is 2,000 IU, so it's really easy to get lots of D-3 in you really easily.

> My 21 yr. old daughter with rett syndrome needs to go on daily dose of 1000 mg calcium and 400- 800 IU of vitamin D3 because of osteopenia. Does anyone know of a legal supplement for this. Liquid would be ideal but can't find any that seem to be legal. Also if we have to go capsule route can they be opened and mixed with foods?
