> Kara,

If you like add a little (like 1/8 teaspoon ascorbic acid and some citric acid ..ay 1/4 teaspoon) and stir vigorously...should fizz (like Berocca) and be clear or only slightly cloudy with no bitter taste if balance is correct.

Hi Jan,I've been taking 500 mg. of calcium citrate (with a little carbonate in there too) and 500 mg. of magnesium. I've been taking them both at night though. Does it make a big difference if I take them throughout the day intstead?
I think my multi is low on Potassium so bananas or supplementation is a good idea.
Oddly enough, I haven't had any flutters in the last couple of days. Wierd. I don't know what's behind it.
Thanks,
Kara
