For calcium, you should be using calcium citrate. I have a pharmacist Contact me every six months to go over my drugs. She told me that the calcium I was using was wrong and I have to use calcium citrate.

Costco sells it with magnesium as well, which is really a good thing to have.

Calcium citrate always requires you to take two pills because if you look at the label, you’ll see they’re only 250 mg. Even though they say. It’s 500 mg, it requires 2 pills

Your body cannot Process more than 500 mg of calcium at a time so if you take more than that, it does no good.

Calcium almost always includes vitamin D as part of it. Not as much as you may want to take. You’re supposed to take at least 1000 mg a day of vitamin D. I take calcium three times a day, the vitamin D in calcium is around 1000 mg taken three times a day. It can’t hurt to take another thousand milligram pill of vitamin D. You really don’t need much more though.
