One thing about this smaller amount of calcium is that one can distribute these capsules throughout the day, rather than take
a large amount of calcium all at one time, and if one thinks they've had enough via a food source at a given dosing time, one could
simply eliminate that capsule at that time.

I have someone in my family who does this all the time as she has absorption issues and osteoporosis as well.

These are only sold to physicians, and are pharmaceutical grade, so you might want to contact Vital Nutrients to see which docs
carry them in your area if you are interested in not taking so much all at the same time. The smaller amounts in those caps would
also make it easier to adjust to newer recommendations as they come out, should one need to cut down the total amounts taken in
a day.

My family member had been unable to find any other brands that could be dosed that small.

Have no clue how much I or anyone else should take of calcium, the above being said.

Just thought I'd mention these smaller capsules since I'd never heard of these small ones before someone told me about them not long ago.

Good luck...Luce
