Suggest Dosage For Men-50+, Calcium Citrate And Magnesium Citrate

I eat a whole lot of organic leafy greens, raw, blended and cooked. I have osteoporosis and a recent heart infarction. I am very active and do cardiovascular exercises regularly. I take a Men+50 multivitamin. I still want to take Ca citrate and Mg citrate. Any advice re. when and how to take those two items?

hi
thanks for your question
well my suggestion to you is if you can take the combination tab of magnesium and calcium citrate it will really benefit you for the supplementation.
you have to put in mind that it has some drug interactions with multivitamins and cardiovascular medications.
the amount you have to take is also important to prevent an overdose which has its own symptoms.
would suggest before you start yourself on any other supplement get yourself reviewed by your physician to know which drug to take when and if another supplement is necessary due to the illnesses you are suffering from
hope to have answered your query
thanks and takecare
