freedom,
Scratch the magnesium OXIDE off your list! Magnesium in the oxide form is pure JUNK---terribly absorbed and utilized by the body. Take magnesium glycinate instead.
As for the calcium, I don't believe that calcium in carbonate form is absorbed too well itself. There are much better forms as well (not positive which ones are best so I'll refrain from saying). As for your advice to avoid folic acid and copper, please post links that support that if you happen to have a link. I would be very interested in that link for various reasons. Inositol has also been shown to help some with OCD. In the study, participants were given 12-18 grams of inositol a day (a very large amount). freedom, has your OCD at times COMPLETELY incapacitated you? <Made you unable to do ANYTHING except sit and think, think, think, with NO stopping the obsessive thinking (IF you have the obsessional thinking type)? Did it ever REALLY 'hurt', NOT like a bad headache but hurt in a terrible MENTAL, torture pain kind of way? Take Care!!
