Calcium
How much calcium do you take each day? I have been taking 1200 per day of the Catcitral (calcuim citrate) and I wonder how much I am absorbing. I looked at the chewables on Amazon. They are lemon and chocolate flavored and I know they have been mentioned here. There are 30 in a package and are 500 mg each.
Make SURE that the chewables you're considering are calcium citrate (e.g. Bariatric Advantage or Calcet). I've been duped before on no-name chewables & would hate for someone else to make the same mistake!!
I take about 2000 mg daily.

I take 1500 mg a day, in three doses of 500 mg each. The ASMBS says we need 1500-2000 mg a day.
I think the chewables you're talking about are the Calcet creamy bites and they are delicious. If you put the chocolate ones in the freezer, they are just like eating a frozen candy bar.
