used for rat poisoning in humans ## It's sad to see things were to scared to test on ourselves being tested on animals; even rats. In the case of supplements or Vitamin K in this instance, you never know exactly what they do in their testing facilities to ensure it works the way they want it to work. Word of advice: Get your vitamins and minerals from whole fresh ripe raw organic fruits and vegetables, and you can be assured you are getting plenty of what you need if you incorporate this eating habit on a regular basis. You are also doing the rats (and other animals) a favor by not supporting and buying into these failed products. ## Vitamin K is an essential nutrient that is vital for calcium metabolism, blood clotting, heart health and much more. Usually the blood thinner called C...

Any one use this for Diabetes pain in feet and legs? And? ## In countries such as India, it is frequently prescribed by doctors to help with the nerve damage and pain that diabetics often experience. A form of vitamin B12 called Methylcobalamin is the one that's most often prescribed, but some doctors do prefer to give their patients a full b complex vitamin. When it comes to using vitamins, minerals and herbs to treat or prevent some health conditions, the U.S. is kind of lagging behind. Even when a natural remedy is shown to be safe and effective, most doctors turn to prescription medications for everything, in spite of their possible risks and side effects. Now, there can be some side effects associated with herbs, vitamins and minerals, as well, plus some may be contraindicated ...

dosage, side effects ## Are you referring to the supplement Amino Vital? It is listed as one packet, per serving. It contains 240mgs Vitamin C, 117mgs of Calcium, 38mgs of Magnesium, and 85mgs of Potassium. Along with 2,400mgs of Amino Acids. That said, this is a supplement, not a medication, so the side effects of using it are not studied. Please let me know, however, if this is the correct product.
