@migizii Hi, My endocrinologist wants me to take cacium citrate, not just calcuim I take 2 a day 1000mg one at breakfast and the other one at supper or you my call it dinner. I was raised on a farm. I'm going to send a message to my endocrinologist to see if I need to be on 1200 mg of cacium citrate.. I use Miralax for constipation and at Amazon you can get generic. Miralax you can get it to less cost. I don't use a whole cap of Miralax or it causes loss stools. Really lose. I hope this helps.
