That would be a honor Marla, but I can understand how you feel about

it all at the same time.

Hope you feel better soon.

Celebrex for my knees until I had both knees replaced at the same

am on the 6 weeks of D3-50 and then 6 weeks of it twice a week and

then 1000 mg per day thereafter. With this I also take 3,000 mgs of

calcium citrate which I might add I do it but I hate it. Those dang

things are huge and you have to take two at a time. When I add it

to my protein drink it is crunchy and I really hate that. I miss my

Cal-Max even though it is hugely expensive and evidently didn't do

the job. When traveling I still mix it up like Marta does with

several different kinds. This change is in addition to all the

other vitamins I take.

extra. We will see. Seems like I am always recovering from

something. Right now I have a cold and I must say I feel a

little " snippy. " That is not a good thing.

I found some calcium (on sale) from TwinLab that I hope is worthwhile.  Calcium

Citrate Chewable Wafers with Magnesium & Vitamin D.  The wafers are fairly large

but that's not a problem since they are to be chewed, not swallowed.  Calcium

1000 mg, Magnesium 500 mg, Vit D 400 IU.  They have a citrus flavor that's

really pretty good.    I chew them (usually four or five or six wafers) while

I'm working on the computer.

If this is a good product, it's a really easy way to take calcium.  Comments

Phil, how many wafers do you have to chew to get the 1000 mg. of calcium?

How many come in a pkg and the cost?

The Chewable wafers sound good to me, and If you take them on a

consistent basis to be compliant than I say they are dynamite!

Just for informational purposes:

It has been recommended in the WLS community that you need a 2:1

ratio of Calcium and Magnesium for best absorption. This product is

meeting that with 1000 mg calcium/500 mg Mag. YEA! However I offer

this warning...that ratio may cause diarrhea because of the

Magnesium. Just something to be aware of.

Also...Pay CLOSE attention to how many wafers it takes to meet " YOUR "

calcium requirement...spread out your doses by a couple hours in 500

mg. increments and don't take it with iron.

I'm thrilled to know you are working on taking your

supplements...Makes me very happy.

Hugs

Pearl,

4 wafers contain the dosages I listed previously. I bought ten bottles (60

wafers per bottle) for $7.00 per bottle. That would be 15,000 mg of calcium for

$7.00. That was about half the regular price and it's hard for me to pass up a

" bargain. " However, I haven't done a cost comparison with other sources of

calcium so I don't really know if this is a bargain.

Phil - Don't we only absorb 500 mg of calcium at a time? So chewing 5-6

would be a waste unless you space them 2 hrs apart.
