I have had a TERRIBLE day with vitamins. That's all I'm gonna say.

How are you doing today?

I've got a new calcium, a "liquid" that's the consistency of yogurt. I'll finish off this bottle and look for chewables again. They're more convenient. But this has 750 mg, so I only have to take it twice a day.

Tried to buy iron yesterday but the offerings in the vitamin store didn't match what I'd read about here. I think I'll order some online and not have to think about it any more.

But people can only absorb about 500 mg calcium at a time. So you're not really getting the whole 750 mg if you take that at once.

Oh, shoot. Now I have to do math. Two T. divided by three...

Um... I hate math.

OK, one tablespoon is three teaspoons. So two tablespoons is six teaspoons.

So you need two teaspoons, three times a day.
