Has anyone had this problem? Over 2 years ago I did the whole series of
cleanses/flushes. I read & was told that Mag07, like homozon [magnesium
bound to...], were NOT laxitives... this may be true as to
there method of action; however - I continued to take 2 Mag07 capsules
nightly as maintenance. I was told this was a good way to introduce
oxygen into the system & keep regular.
Now to the problem: I had my first complete blood work in 2 years done
last week & my Vit D count was "in the toilet"!!! Funny, maybe - but no
joke! 12 mg/mL BELOW the low end of normal.
I was diagnosed several years go with osteoporosis so I am VERY careful
to get sufficient Vit D, calcium, boron, etc. My daily multi has 400IU &
I take an additional 800IU of Vit D 3 on top of that...not to mention I
live in FL & get plenty of sun on my skin.
I started searching the web & found several references to laxitives
causing low Vit D levels. Since Vit D regulates calcium in the body it
is lost through the bowels when to much water is pulled into them - as
laxitives do - and "oxy" therapies, too, obviously.
Even though these do not contain stimulants, they do loosen the stool by
pulling water from the body. I also drink recommended amount of water
daily [1/2 of weight in ounces of water], so I know that isn't the
problem.
I stopped the Mag07 immediately & am eating more oat bran, natural fiber
foods [which I've always done] & psyllium.
I am very concerned on how long it will take to get my Vit D levels back
to normal & how much damage I have done to my bones in the past 2 1/2
years! I also used the Mag07 because of the "oxygen enhancing" benefit -
is there a substitute for that that I can safely use? I considered one
of the "oxygen drops" but wonder about the safety of that too, now.
If the Mag 07 is not the culprit - does anyone know of any "other"
reason Vit D could be so depleted?
Any feedback is appreciated.
