Whats the dosa? Normally its 2 pills for 500mg. But the kind you got is right. Just make sure u take the right dosage.

I found a liquid one at gnc. It has a tart taste to it but not bad. 1 tablespoon is 1200 mg so since we can only absorb 500 mg at a time i take 1 1/2 teaspoon 3 x a day. My surgeons offie said it was ok to take.

If it's 500 mg, you will need to take at least 6 daily: 2 each three time per day.

But it sounds like you made a good choice.  Just be sure to count them out and swallow them down!

The Calcium Citrate w/ Magnesium is a wise choice; I've started taking it and it seems to have solved my problem with constipation. Just make sure you get your necessary amount of supplementation; one pill is 500 mg, and you need at least 1,500 daily. ASBS says (I think) 2,000 daily.

Good luck!
