After having taken calcium citrate 500 mg and magnesium citrate 200 mg for some time now for treatment of early bone loss, I found that these minerals also have the effect of ADs and tranquilizers on me. The problem is that I can't seem to stay on that dose for long due to side effects such as severe dizziness and nausea, weakness, dulled senses and slowed thinking. I stopped taking vitamin D for fear of accumulating too much (I get a lot of sun).
Does anyone have any idea how Cal-Mag can cause such problems? I am now taking half the amount and still feeling whoozy.
Can taking these minerals deplete other nutrients or cause some other imbalance? And can calcium supplements cause calcification of the arteries?
Sorry about all these questions...
Thanks in advance,
Kari.
