This is what I used to take:

500 mg calcium citrate in AM
1 fish oil pill

2 Centrums at lunch
50 mg of Ubiquitol (it's for endurance workouts, not WLS)

500 mg calcium citrate in the PM

500 mg calcium citrate before bed

But I decided I wanted to reall push the iron to see if it would help with my protein issue and I switched to:

250 mg calcium citrate in AM
1 Celebrate capsule  (also has 100 mg calcium citrate)
1 Proferrin (an iron source that can be taken with calcium)

500 mg calcium citrate at lunch
1 fish oil capsule

500 mg calcium citrate in the PM
1 Celebrate capsule

250 mg calcium citrate before bed
1 Celebrate capsule (so 350 mg calcium total)
1 Proferrin

The Celebrate has no iron so I can take it with calcium. I like the flexibility. Also, I am now getting 1700 mg of calcium from doing this but with 1 less Citrical pill a day. So I save some money that way. But the Celebrate is more than the Centrum and the Proferrin is expensive.
