Good to know. If the increased zinc doesn't do the trick, I can try calcium.

We don't give

any supplemental calcium at the moment because I couldn't bring myself to buy

one more

bottle of anything.

acid deficiency as teeth grinding can be a symptom of anxiety.

Right now, she is getting a B-50 per day, quartered and given in four doses.

That

equals....50 mg of pantothenic acid. If the zinc doesn't work, and the calcium

doesn't

work, what is the recommended dose of xt-pantothenic acid for a 79# kid?
