Thanks, I'll do moe research. I think I need to do more with supplements (pretty sure I'm missing some things, my diets so wacky; I have a VERY sensitive corn allergy which limits my supplement options as well as my daily diet) But, my dr's faces tend to glaze over and they shrug and hem and haw and say things like "Sure, that sounds like a good idea." when I start asking for vitamin advice.

(What I really want to know is why my blood calcium levels are elevated, but my dentist says I really need calcium supplements. None of the drs can answer that.) My theory is that theres something else thats either blocking absorption or using up calcium stores. *sigh* You need a degree just to be a patient, sometimes.
