Hi!

I received my box of Upcal today
and on the to-go pack it says (500 mg. elemental) 2500 mg. 50%

How many do I need a day? Can I do 2 at one time?

I'm not Kelly, but I'm pretty sure that since your body can only absorb about 500mg at a time, you cannot do more then one pack at a time. you need 1500-2000mgs a day, so 3-4 packs.

I use the Upcal D. I use one packet in my shakes (2 a day), one mixed in with something else, and usually just take my pills for the third. which i don't like so i've ordered some chews.

the upcal is good stuff, can't taste it at all

You're correct, 500 mg at a time.

Three or four a day, only one at a time.

Space them out about 2-3 hours apart at a minimum correct?

Yep, at least two hours.
