vitamin question

[hoosiermama]

Before I open these. I can't take the BA calcium lozenges, I've tried and I'd rather give birth.

I saw a thread a while back where folks were taking Citracal. I bought some tonight. 2 tabs have 630 mg of calcium citrate and 500 mg of vit D as cholec...ital (I can't read the label well without my glasses).

Until I can get with vitalady and get some of the good stuff..will this work? 6 tabs a day morning noon and night.

I took the Citrical petites when I was early out. I now take Walmart brand Calcium Citrate. I take 6 doses a day of about 600 mgs per dose. Don't count that little bit of D tho. You need WAY WAY more D than you can get with any calcium.

Sure, they work fine. If you have trouble swallowing them, let them fall apart in just a little water and toss them back that way.

The D in them is meaningless for us, though. Consider it maybe a very tiny benefit, but nothing else. Take your D in separate form.

Thanks. I had a coupon and decided to try them out. I was failing miserably at reaching my calcium goals with the other. I know the D is a waste but there were so many kinds, I thought listing everything on the bottle would be important so you guys would know what I got

Another question tho: I thought 1800 mgs was my goal staring out...that would be 6 tabs a day. Should I up that?
