I take 600+D Calcium Carbonate plus 4000 IU of D softgels twice a day. I always take with a meal or snack. I do not get indigestion.

I experienced severe side effects from taking calcium supplement. There was no information on the container about side effects and I think there should be. my GP did not know about the side effects and suffered from hives and skin rash for many months before side effects were recognised.

I have high BP and take medication for it I'm also pre diabetic and take METFORMIN 500mg 2x daily, VIT D 50000 UNIT 1X week and CALCIUM 500MG with vit D 2x daily. I find that after I take the calcium I get a stomachache and bloated. I tried taking it at different times. Does anyone have this problem? I just don't want to take it anymore. I have been taking it for over a year. My doctor said I just need to take the calcium. I can't do much with a daily stomachache and taking zantac or gas-x to try and relieve symptoms is not helping much. thank you. Read More Read Less

I have been taking this supplement for years by swallowing whole. I have recently noticed that the tablet has passed through to my stool undigested. There was no directions on the box requiring that the supplement is better if chewed. I believe taking this supplement has been a waste of money!

Calcium minerals are essential to good health. Although some prescriptions and a few supplements are popular, it really comes down to individual lifestyle. The more active you are the more calcium you need!

On an episode of "The Doctor's" they explained how Calcium makes you loose weight (especially if you are 50 and over) or in menapause! An average women between 50-70 should intake a minimum of 1200mg of calcium per day (either in their diet or by supplement). Remember, it's not just milk and dairy products you needtoeat....example, 1 cup of raw broccoli has more calcium than a cup of milk!!!!!

By following their instructions that come with it, it really aids in loosing weight. Everything is based on your own experience, because everyone is different shape and sizes. If you decieded not to follow what they suggest to eat while on the tablet, you end up with an upset stomach. Its your body telling you have enough, sugars,nutrients, vitamins; in which you able is able to loose weight. Helps with the hormones. I was able to regulate my period naturally.
