Calcium

I do think that overdoing any nutrient is a bad idea. I am taking what was prescribed in the study which is not excessive. For supplements, they only recommend 500-700mg of Calcium, 400-600mg magnesium and 500ug of Vitamin D and 500g of dairy a day (15 ounces of milk -less than 2 cups.) My calciums are 333mg each of calcium citrate, so I am taking 2 daily which combined with the calcium of 2 cups of skim milk is 1268mg of calcium total daily. I am taking 300mg of magnesium. I am not taking the Vitamin D though, there is 200ug fortified in the 2 cups of milk.

That seems totally reasonable to me (except the magnesium is dangerously high but you are not taking that much) and I wish you (and everyone of course) the very best of luck with their sways!
