Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 For myself I discovered that I had to include vitamin D. Seems to need this to get the minerals to work together too. I read that people with chronic fatigue and MS demands are higher for D in many cases. I was taking the two minerals and all they did was make me tired. Until I read about the vitamin D connection. Now I feel energy. Take D at the same time as your minerals. I have been using an A & D complex. Liz D. Calcium is not well absorbed without magnesium. I would recommend you not give calcium by itself, add some magnesium with it. Also, magnesium did help one of my kids with teeth grinding, so I would definitely recommend you try it.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hi Alisha, I think if you look up the contents on their website you will find that there is some magnesium in with the nightcal to aid absorption so this should help.

Carnosine elevated my kids' copper levels, so you need to be sure to give zinc if you are giving carnosine. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calcium and magnesium do a complicated dance with each other, blocking each other but also being necessary for each other. We think that specifically to get *calcium* to absorb, giving something like NightCal (very easily absorbed calcium combined with a small amount of mag to help it in) on an empty stomach with no other supplements at the same time is the best approach.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 >>>> I would like to use the NightCal for Zeb, he is a big time grinder and his little teeth are worn down. If the NightCal doesn't resolve the teeth grinding, maybe try more of just magnesium. It might be the magnesium that helps with the grinding (magnesium helps with muscle relaxation). If he is not gaining weight as you like, you might try increasing the enzyme dose a bit. How long has he been taking enzymes total? Of the carbs he eats, how much is whole grains (as opposed to refined processed bread-type carbs)? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
