Massive Calcium & D3 for seniors

Some one mentioned on one of the forums here that they had been perscribed massive doses of D3. Here is a heads up. ODing on any vitamin is not a good idea, but these essential nutrients can cause brain damage.

So many people think they are getting enough calcium by taking supplements, but actually the way they are going about it depletes their calcium and leaches the mineral from their bones.

There is more about this in the Sustainable Alternative forum where I also posted this information.
