Question:
HOW LONG BETWEEN DOSES OF CALCIUM

I TAKE CALCIUM CITRATE, & I'VE READ WE ONLY CAN ABSORB ABOUT 400-500 MG AT ONE TIME SO IT IS BEST TO SPACE OUT TAKING YOUR CALCIUM THROUGHOUT THE DAY (I KNOW NOT TO TAKE IT WITH MY ONE-A-DAY WITH IRON) BUT HOW LONG BETWEEN DOSES SHOULD I WAIT BETWEEN DOSES TO GET THE BEST ABSORBTION?    — PATRICIA S.

My doctor told me to wait at least 2 hours after taking my multivitamin before taking my calcium so it would be absorbed.

4 hours is best. I take my vitamins in the morning, calcium at lunch and then another calcium at bedtime. On Fridays I do B12 when I get home from work.

The dietician at my doctor's office says that the Cal Cit. should be taken with my lunch and dinner meals because it is absorbed better and utilized by the body when taken with food. Hope this helps.
