Calcium tends to "bind you up" so it's better to take it with an amount of Magnesium Citrate at 1/2 the dose of the calcium: ie. 1000 mg calcium, 500 mg magnesium citrate. I've tried to find the two together in one pill, but the magnesium is the wrong kind. You can buy it separately, tho. I started taking it the other day with my calcium (I stopped for a while w/the calcium) and I didn't go for a couple of days (I'm C) but now it's working just fine. Are you getting a lot of gas after you take the 500 mg C? If so, that could be the culprit. You could try smaller doses--like my multi has 60 mg of C and that doesn't bother me. I think it's the large dose and Heather said it was citric acid which is irritating to the colon. Sharon -------------------- Sharon "Anything Chocolate"...that is all!
