Calcium supplement

I often forget to take my calcium chew with my meals, I wonder if it is ok to take at other time? I know it is absorbed better with food, but isn't it better to get it in instead of not getting it in? (I am taking the Caltrate chewable).

I put mine in the silverware drawer so when I go to grab my silverware they are right there and I put on my plate.  That may help remind you.  Or think of it as birth control...... XXOO

I take 3 supplements - Centrum, calcium, and biotin.  I keep a supply at home, and another supply at work.  I keep the biotin (small bottle) next to my monitor, so I always remember to take that, and it triggers me to remember the other two as well.  And by leaving a supply both places, I really never forget! 

Hi...I take my calcium most often when I eat but not always. I work out of my home so I keep them next to my computer....that helps to remind me. Hope you can find a way that works for you. connie d

Hey Laura-

I think as long as you take it, you are getting some of it.  If you forget during a meal, take it later.  I keep mine near the fridge and when I get ready in the morning, I take two of them and put them in my purse.  Then at lunch time, it's just a ritual to take my money out to go get lunch and take one of my chews out and set on my desk.  I have the other one there to eat if I decide to stay at work late or I eat it when I get home.  It's worked pretty good so far. 

Good Luck!

Thank-you all for the advice, I think I will keep a supply at work too, that will help. When I keep them in my purse I forget they are in there, it will just take time to become a habit. Thanks again!
