Wow-I'm sorry you had to go through that with your lips OUCH:-( It sounds like you are doing better. I'm sitting here looking at a bottle of "Stresstabs" it has 250%(5mg) of Vit B6, but no Magnesium. I also have "Slow-Mag" with 32% Magnesium(128mg) and Calcium. A while ago (like a year),I tried a brand "Soloray"-Cal-Mag and it was GREAT! 2:1 ratio Calcium-Magnesium I believe more in the ratio too, but I really liked Soloray. I need to find it again. I slept better, and I felt better overall in combo with taking my psych meds. I think I have a good combo here-I just need to give it time. I started yesterday, hopefully it will help. I like the "Stresstabs", seems to have a great balance of the B vitamins something I definately need.
Thank you for your reply:-)

> Like most women, my need for nutrients went up when I was preganant, but while eating good & taking supplements was enough for most nutrients, I started showing B6 deficiency signs in my 2nd pregnancy. My lips initially were chapped but it progressed till they were raw & the redness extended beyond my lip line. In the morning, I woke with my lips sealed shut with a dry crust that oozed out during the night. I had to soak my lips to soften it before I could open them.

> There's other signs that I have a fairly high need of B complex vitamins & magnesium, & my health is better when I take extra - more than my diet can provide. I take a good B supplement; a stress formulation has the best ratios of the diff B vitamins, plus I take nutritional yeast most of the time that I remember to. I don't believe in a "right" calcium/magnesium supplement but I do believe in the right ratio. It's a 2:1 for cal:mag.
