On the calcium front--do you have an opinion about Wellessee Liquid Calcium ?? It says 1000 mg and I think you take 2 ounces 2 times a day.Getting in calcium is a BIG problem for me.I am using the Sundown Perfect Iron per your suggestion and that has been such a blessing. Thanks for your help.

The Wellesse calcium is a combination of calcium citrate, which is the kind we need, and tricalcium phosphate, which we cannot absorb.  I believe the manufacturer said that it contains either 70 or 80% calcium citrate, which would mean two ounces would give you 700 or 800 mg calcium citrate.  Since we can only absorb about 50 mg calcium citrate at a time, though, I would only take 1.5 ounces at a time, which would be either 525 or 600 mg calcium citrate.  You'd need to take that three times a day.  did that make sense?
