Hey guys,

So I have noticed if I take Calcium-Magnesium Complex by Country Life (only one I have tried)
I will get a hot itchy feeling in my hands and feet. Has anyone had something like this happen?
Is it too much Calcium and Magnesium or is it perhaps the brand?

Thanks
-Rob

With a simple google.com search: "calcium" "magnesium" "itchy" you can find quite a bit.

Calcium phosphate: The balance of calcium and phosphate is ruined in kidney
disease. Your phosphorus gets higher because your kidneys can't get rid of it.
When calcium and phosphate combine, they form crystals that deposit in your skin.
This irritates your nerves and causes itching.

High Magnesium: Magnesium may build up in kidney disease. Magnesium binds
with phosphate and forms a crystal that acts the same as calcium – phosphate.
Magnesium may also cause the release of histamine.

Are your phosphorus levels high? You may need to cut back on them or take some phosphate binders.

I don't have kidney disease but the calcium magnesium complex I have
also contains 500mg Phosphorus. I guess between my Multi, and my diet
I'm getting too much. Thanks.
