Re: legal calcium/magnesium supplement

[Guest guest]

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.

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?

Lucyskitchen.com has a legal calcium pill. I used to take it with no problems.

It's a hard pill so I don't think it can be mixed with foods. You might be able

to dissolve it in warm liquid.

Freeda brand SCD Calcium Complete, 5/day = 1000mg Vit. C, 400mg

mag, 400IU Vit.D This is what I use, take w/food, and the pills dissolve easily

(I have to place each one in my mouth w/water til it dissolves enough for me to

swallow it). The solid pills can be crushed and taken as a powder also.

I believe BodyBio.com has liquid mineral supplements.

For Vitamin D3 I use DDrops by Carlson Labs, 2000IU/drop, in

saponified coconut oil. I take 3 drops/day (6000IU). Has your dd gotten a Vit.

D test to determine her levels? Most people are deficient in D3.
