Usage and Directions Rules of Thumb when taking Calcium Supplements Ask your doctor about your medications (some decrease calcium absorption). Don't smoke - it decreases calcium absorption. Limit caffeine intake, it can decrease calcium absorption. No not drink caffeine with your supplement. The combination neutralizes the calcium. Avoid or limit alcohol - it can increase calcium loss It is a good idea to take your calcium twice a day, instead of in one dose, because your body can absorb only 600 milligrams of elemental calcium at a time. Do not take calcium with iron, because it interferes with its absorption. Also avoid taking calcium supplements with high-fiber meals or bulk laxatives, as they can cut down on the amount of calcium you absorb. Do not exceed 2,000 milligrams a day of elemental calcium. This may pose problems for your kidneys. So if you have had kidney stones or have a family history of them, talk to your doctor before taking calcium supplements. If you have stomach problems and take Tagamet, Pepcid, Prolisec, Nexium, or Protonix, you should make sure you use a supplement that is easily dissolvable in water like CitraCal or NutraCal™. Other calcium supplements rely on stomach acids to break it down so the calcium can be absorbed.   Calcium Supplements > Choosing Supplements | Calcium Supplements | Usage and Directions | Calcium Absorption | Compare Calcium’s | The Ionic State   PURCHASE
