Calcium
I take 1500 mg daily, as recommended by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Make sure you're using calcium citrate, not carbonate.

We are supposed to take them at least two hours away from iron, because calcium blocks the absorption of iron. You can take it with meals if you want and with any other supplements. I take my first dose of calcium with my multi, D3, vitamin A and zinc, and take my second dose with my other multi and my magnesium oxide.
