Vitamin K is an integral part of building and maintaining bone mass. If anyone wants more info on this, please email me on or off list. Can't type anymore. Exhausted from providing labor support at a *fantastic* birth last night - which was followed by the fastest, easiest breastfeeding experience....and a baby who was actually smiling at her mom. the whole thing was magical and very healing for this mom. Anyway, vit k. 1-5 mgs per day. There's lit out there that shows it's slightly more effective than fosamax, iirc. :) katherine in atl *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
