I bought calcium citrate chewables with vit d&magnesium from citacost.com but as i was reading about serving sizes I am unsure now.The serving size is 4 chewables and I know we need 1500-2000 a day.So I only been taking 3 a day and it states 1,000 mg per serving.Please tell me how many of these chewables im suppose to take.Because if its alot I need to be switching to something else. I am almost 2wks out from rny.Thanks

They are 250mg each so 6 (1500mg) or 8(2000mg) per day ...

It looks like 6 a day (two at a time/3 times a day).

I use the Vitacost chewables. I take them three times a day, 2 each time. Morning, Mid-Day, Dinner.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that four of them have 1000 mg? That means one has 250 mg. So if you have only been taking three, you are only getting 750 mg and we need 1500 to 2000 mg, so you need to take six to eight a day.
