How much calcium can your body absorb at a time and how long does it take to absorb?

Does that mean that if you were taking a 1000mg. calcium capsule, you would need to take 3 a day to absorb 1500mg.? Each one giving you 500mg. of Calcium.

basically you can only absorb only about 500-600 mg a time- thus if you do take calcium in some form - and are trying to achieve 1500 mg a day - take in three dosages with meals-consider having your supplement include vitamin D if possible
