Magnesium

Please see my page on Magnesium and Vitamin D and Pain While Taking Vitamin D. Chest discomfort is a sign of magnesium deficiency.

I also suspect that you are not taking a good quality multivitamin with your vitamin d. I recommend that no one EVER take high dose vitamin d by itself as that is likely to cause problems such as what you are experiencing.

I take 600mg of magnesium and chlorella

Without leaving your name, I have no idea if you are the original poster or just someone else who came along to leave some information.

If this IS the original poster, while chlorella is great, it's not as broad spectrum as a good multivitamin and is not as consistent a source of many vitamins that may be needed as a cofactor for Vitamin D. And how much chlorella are you taking? Saying 'I'm taking chlorella' gives me virtually zero information about the amount you are taking in and therefore the vitamin content. Taking a 1/2 teaspoon a day would be very different than if you grew your own and ate 2 pounds per day as your main source of protein.

As far as magnesium, you might need more than 600 mg to prevent symptoms when you are taking vitamin d. Just because you are taking magnesium doesn't mean it's enough for YOU. Please read my page on Magnesium Dosage and you'll see that some sources recommend 600 mg as a STARTING dose when magnesium deficiency is present- and chest discomfort when taking vitamin d IS a sign of magnesium deficiency.

You may also have a B6 deficiency which means that you are not utilizing or absorbing magnesium appropriately. There are ALL SORTS of reasons why 600 mg of magnesium may not be enough for you.

If you respond to this, PLEASE leave your name. It is frustrating to no end to try to figure out if it's the same person or another person responding...
