How much Calcium Citrate should we be getting a day? I think I like St my marbles and have been taking the wrong amount! ?

My plan calls for 1500mg (500 3X daily) in liquid or chewable. I have been taking bariatric advantage wafers.

The ASMBS says 1500-2000 per day in doses of not more than 500 each.

I had to increase mine to 2500, as I was becoming deficient.

I am taking 2000. 4 Bariatric Advantage chewables split up during the day... although I am just about out of those, so I've bought the Celebrate chewables. Someone on here suggested those as they are lower in calories... 

I think my plan only calls for 1500, but as a woman in her 50's I know I can use the extra, and unless I am high on my blood panels, then I'm going to take the little extra.

On a related topic - I am having trouble finding Calcium Citrate at the pharmacy.  Can anyone recommend a brand and where to find it (Walgreens, CVS, GNC)??

Thanks!
