Vitamin B6 at nighttime, Magnesium & Zinc ratio-Dana

[Guest guest]

Dana, you had written that the B vitamins with the exception of Biotin,

shouldn't be given at bedtime because of the B vits being 'energizing'

or something like that.

But, what about Vitamin B6 -which I give with the Magnesium? I've heard

that Magnesium whould be give at nighttime and that B6 should be given

along with the Magnesium. Is it ok to give the B6 at night? I also give

her the B Complex vitamins in the morning. My teen daughter often has

difficulty falling asleep at night due to overactive thinking! She has

OCD/Perseveration along with Aspergers. So, I don't want to give her

any supplement that would make it harder for her to fall asleep and

also stay asleep at night.

Another question: Is the Magnesium supposed to be given in a certain

balance with Zinc? My 16 year old girl takes 500 mg of Magnesium Oxide.

How much Zinc would she require, if any? She is heavy and she's large

boned, weighing 195 pounds at 5 ft 4 inches tall.

She drinks-eats lots of calcium products so she doesn't take any

calcium supplements with her Magnesium. I believe there is supposed to

be a balance with Magnesium, Zinc and Calcium? Thanks for your help,

Dana! And anyone else that has advice on these issues too. Irene
