I feel really faint/dizzy/weird/super-weak on these supplements. Various brands. It's frustrating, because I'm supposed to avoid dairy.

Hi greany, yes, felt like this when I started to take the supplements. I am very sensitive to medicine and this was an issue for me. I found that starting with low dosages eliminated the problem for me. I ended up taking child capsules of Vitamin D3 and splitting my magnesium pills. After a week or two, I was able to increase the dosages to the normal dosage. I take my calcium as part of my multi-vitamin so I can't comment on it.

Hi greany,

I am also very sensitive and like healing98 I start very slow until I can tolerate the full dose if I can't I stay in the low dose for a while.

Healing and Csmm, thank you! I will start small. I have chewable Cal-Snack tablets (didn't think about sugar before I bought them).

This board has been the best for advice. I'm really thankful for it.
