You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
THey say it has 80% of calcium citrate. Ask tehm to provide you that in writting... I am pretty sure they will not...

But it turned out to be a good lesson to me in really delving into a vitamin product and how they are marketed. The website lists the ASMBS recommendations even though many of their products are in direct violation of them (for instance, their calcium dosage is two doses of 1000 mg calcium but the ASMBS says for best absorption we should take throughout the day in 5-600 mg increments AND there is the issue [that I don't fully understand admittedly] of the type of calcium used).
Thankfully we have folks like Kelly, Pam and Andrea who have made it their business to know the in's and out's of vitamins and I thank them for lending their expertise to us! I am also blessed to have a NUT who will vet vitamins for me before I choose to buy them.
I use Building Blocks vitamins and even then my NUT did the 20 questions thing and helped me develop a schedule that will work for me. So far so good on my labs and how I feel (my deficiencies were starting to present in physical symptoms).
Beware the products you use! They are not all good for us!

So there are not as many kinds of calcium as there are apples, but some kinds are good for RNY folks and some are not. They work in different ways in the body.
