Tom made a YouTube video of his vitamins and supplements...but I don't know where it is.

How much calcium do you take and how many times a day?  I ordered vitalady vitamin schedule but I already had BA calcium and each chewable is 400mg and Vitalady recommends 600 mg 3-4 times.  Trying to figure out if I should take 800mg (2 chewables) x 3times but my understanding is that our body only absorbs 500mg.  I also got the iron and it 25mg each so I have to take 12 of them to make the 300mg and was wondering if I should divide the dosage by 2 during the day.

Thanks

 I take a ton of calcium a day because I'm having major absorption problems with it.   I'm supposed to be taking 7,000....I'm proud of myself when I can get that much in, but mostly get in around 5,000 mg.    I take it 1,000 at a time.....yeah, yeah, I know, you're only supposed to absorb 500 at a time, but my doc feels that if I take 1,000, maybe I'll "catch" 500 mg.    So I take two of the BA chewables at a time, or two scoops of UpCal D, or 6 or the MCHC.     I take it first thing when I get up in the a.m., with all my meals, late afternoon, bedtime....whenever I can manage to squeeze it in.  I even keep some in my car, LOL.
