Wait time between Calcium supplements

In my nutrition pre-op class, they said the body can only absorb 1,500 mg of Calcium at a time. So, since they want us taking up to 3,000 mg a day, they said to take it twice during the day.

But, how long is the wait before it's a new dosage and the body can absorb it?

Anyone know?

Since it is twice a day, I would just split up twice.  For example if you take at 8 a.m. then take the second at 8 p.m.  something like that.

I was told by my Nut to wait 2 hours in between vits.  I should have asked why but I just did as I was told.  :)

I was told the body could only absorb 500mg of calcium at a time. So I take 500mg three times a day. I wait at least two hours between doses. I take 1500mg daily.

It's 500 at a time, 1500 a day, a couple of hours between doses, and don't take within a few hours of taking iron (if you take iron).

This. And it should be calcium citrate, not calcium carbonate or triphosphate.

Hi, i was told I can only absorb 500mg at a time and to wait 2 hours between each dose. I also have to wait 2 hours from taking my iron before I can take the calcium. 1500mg total is what I was told to take. Good luck and I hope this helps!
