Re: Dry Lips (CalMaZic or EFA)

[Guest guest]

omega threes need balancing with omega sixes and probably a low rda

vitmain e/tocotrienol formula is needed as an anti oxidant

cold pressed safflower oil is good balanced oil

what forms of the minerals are being given? is the stool loose?

The EFAs would do it for one of my kids.

Are you giving Vitamin A at all?? My daughter had dry lips as a

result of Vit. A toxicity. Also, dry lips can be a sign of anemia as

well as a sign of hypercalcemia(calcium toxicity), so you might

consider those options.--Tod

Hi,

My daughter reacts does the same. When her Vitamin A is too much, she

tends to get cracked lips and also emotional and " off " .

I usually back off on the doses for a few days and she is fine.
