If I can't get the Upcal D then I'll have to explore something else.
How much Calcium are we to be getting each day? 500 mg or 1000 mg?
I'm doing okay with my twice daily chewable multivitamins and sublingual B12. I've started to take my chewable iron & c when one of my cats wakes me up in the early morning.

IF that is true is that why we need to take so much because we're malabsorbing we need to take more to compensate? I'm just curious. I'll take whatever is recommended.

OH..is there any calcium citrate pills available from like the local drug stores, walmart and the like. I've been looking and it seems most of them are the wrong type of calcium. I'm probably going to stick with the wellese for my morning and evening, but I want to be able to take some capsules to work and leave there, just for those days I forget and also for my mid-day dose.
I will order online if I have to but prefer to get local if I can (shipping costs kill me, being I'm in the middle of no where Canada)
Thanks
