Nina_Malli:
IP6 (phytic acid)  where can i get this in greece?? could anyone please help me?

Pratik:
I want to ask one thing.

I'm taking Osteocare (800mg calcium + 300mg magnesium + 10mg zinc). 800mg calcium is 100% RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance of dose).

Andy, you mentioned we can take upto 1500 mg.

I was wondering if I could switch to 3 tablets from 2 (currently)? So it would yield me 1200mg calcium + 450mg magnesium. Can I do it? IP 6 also provides around 50mg magnesium and 100mg calcium or such so in total it'd round up a good figure. I find I need to make my bones even more stronger as I'm an osteoporosis patient and it's still affecting the way I live my life.

Would there be an overdose or such?

Andy Battaglia:
Pratik,
That depends on your body weight. If you take more than you need, it only washes through you, so it's something of a waste.

I do around 43 kg currently, would it be appropriate?

Your current dose is fine for your weight.
