Vitamin and mineral supplements
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi ladies
I take different supplements. They are:
Magnesium citrate 800mg a day
Cod liver oil 400 mg a day
Flax seed oil
Evening primrose oil 1000 a day
Vitamin B's mixture
Vitamin C 1000mg a day
Vitamin D3 25ug a day
Vitamin B12 roughly 800mg a day
I wondered if I take too little or too much of something. Is any of this contributing to my palpitations?

Fish oil is generally recognized as safe in doses less than 3 grams daily, but cod liver oil is different from other sources of fish oil because it's quite high in vitamin A, which can build to toxic levels. Vitamin C should not exceed 65mg per day. Vitamin D3 minimum is 2000 IU per day. None of these contribute to heart palpitations.

If you are low on vitamin d, it's ok to take a bigger dosage. I take between 10,000-12,000 IU daily. Have your levels been tested?

Most vitamins and minerals got straight out in your urine. You only need supplements if you have a deficiency in one.

I take 1000ui of vitamin D3. I haven't been tested. I wondered if I should take higher?

2000iu's a day is all you need if you're not suffering from a deficiency of it.

Hi Michelle. I'm sure I've read somewhere that too much vit b can cause a side effect of palps, it might have been on wikipedia. I can't remember if it was one of the b vits or vit b as a whole, but might be worth you having a look on wikipedia or googling "vitamin b side effects" or "too much vitamin b?" & see what it comes up with. xxx
