> I'll have to try the glycinate next. How are you liking the one you ordered from iHerb?
It's ok. It doesn't seem "special". I'll probably go back to Carlson's brand.
> I can't remember. I think I tried the form without yeast but I'll have to do the experiment again to be sure.Last month I experimented with a kind new to me, called "Activated Selenium (Methylselenocysteine)" by Jarrow. http://www.iherb.com/selenium.html It's from broccoli and has a little Vit E and B2 in with it. I didn't notice any difference in how it feels to me, but perhaps you might find it more tolerable.
My foot cramps have been better since I'm taking Vit D again. I had ran out and didn't make the connection until I bought some more. Then I wondered if it would help and sure enough. I know Vit D helps with calcium absorption. Otherwise, I can't think why it should help.
You were on that previous Vit D thread, I believe. Have you increased your intake and noticed any positive effect?
I started out taking 2,000 IU/day of Vit D earlier in the summer. Tried to get a bit more sun too but probably didn't overall from previous years. I thought then that I felt a little more balanced hormonally, in some indescribable way. But the extra Vit D screws up my positive magnesium effect, not that I made that connection right away. I think I may drop back down a bit now, since I can't say I have been noticeably less depressed this summer.
I wish I could afford to just get it tested.
