I did have a bone density test recently, so far so good. These Vitamin/Minerals are good for the bones especially with age and steroid use. Always ask your doctor first before taking anything. Even Vitamins can interfere with some medication you may be taking. Some vitamins and/or Herbs are bad for MS.
Magnesium is good but if you take too much, diarrhea will result.  I am sure you have heard of "Milk of Magnesia". The laxative.

I've heard that zinc is not suggested for MS patients. I have no idea why....but I've heard that. Does anyone know if it's true? I had suggested Zicam for a cold and someone said that zinc isn't good for MS. Does anyone know? Thanks!
