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.............. |

You can overdose on calcium supplements causing a condition called hypercalcemia.
I don't take vitamins or supplements, hoping the sun and the amount of fruits and vegetables and protein in my diet is adequate. Personally I think we eat a lot more than most folks I know of plant based foods. And people who sell supplements will say that the ground lacks the nutrients for the plants that they used to. I say hogwash. You are trying to sell supplements. Our doctor checks our vitamin D levels.

Doctor advised I take a one a day multivitamin and that should be enough.
I use to take two vitamin C, (500mg), if I felt a cold coming on but I wouldn't take vitamins wily nilly but that's just me.
