> I was reminded again this week, btw, of the nasty effect of calcium supplementation on me. I've been having little cramps in my feet at night, which is usually a magnesium thing, but I'm taking plenty of magnesium. So I thought I'd try calcium too. I took only about 180 mg of calcium with 600 mg of magnesium one night. I woke up a couple hours later to use the bathroom and noticed I felt remarkably cranky and irritable. I had a headache like I get when I've been grinding my teeth in my sleep. I thought, great, I'm losing my grip more than usual and was bummed out. THEN I remembered the calcium. I know not everyone shares my experience with calcium as many people find it calming, but for me it's just the opposite. I've been just shuddering to think of your 2500 mg a day! ;)
