Too much of good thing or a necessary supplement to good food
Caltrate 600+D Drug Interactions - Drugs.com=
This is actually an interesting site. Shared with me by a relative......... (click and scroll around site)......
A cousin who is on Coumadin/Warfarin wanted to check out her Caltrate 600D and other such supplements while taking vitamin/mineral supplement such as Centrum Silver.......
The drop down menu shows minor, moderate and major possible interactions among various drugs; always check with your doctor.
Even simple things like vitamins might be better not used, while getting the major nutrients needed from whole foods..............
Who understands the recent reversal , shown on news shows last year, on multi vitamin/mineral useage ???? Was there a reason given at the time???
Several prominent doctors said that these supplements might not be needed after all.............above person is not into dairy products but is at risk for osteoporosis; has osteopenia.....thus the Caltrate.
Is it too much to double up on the calcium carbonate in Caltrate while taking the multi vitamin/mineral such as Centrum Silver???
Centrum has aspartame in it, plus phenylketonurics???
Any experts out there on aspartame and penylketonurics? Possible kidney damage with the latter??
Thanks in advance..............
