yes i was taking a low dose also but my dr. said she takes 5000 a day also, at first i was taking 50,000 iu twice a month. maybe a lower dose in the summer, and a higher dose in the winter, but wait until ur vit-d is ok first

I have been told by a doc who did a magnesium load test that my body does not have enough magnesium and does not hold on to it well. I supplement with a chealated Magnesium. I have also been told I have low viaminD. There is more than one type of Magnesium and it is important to find out about that and what works best for you.

Jerry was actually tested and Dr Sorenson found that he was extremely deficient in Vitamin D and Magnesium. He takes an actual prescription for both.

Wow that was exactly the two things that were low in my blood tests!
Yes I take a supplement of both !!!

I started taking magnesium with chrodium and have been taking vitamin D for years.I would get horrible leg cramps at night mostly and that has pretty much stopped.not sure if this is tmi but it also cleared my ibs symptoms.the second ingredient may be spelled wrong .hope this helps.take care
