Dr. Phil + Calcium question

[Guest guest]

I am really disgusted that Dr. Phil is selling weight loss

products?? I am disappointed because Oprah has really pushed him and

people listen to him like he is a God. I don't think he gets the

weight thing at all.

Anyway, how many hours apart should you take calcium pills? I know I

should know this but am really investigating the whole calcium thing

heavily lately. I don't want my spine to collapse and end up with

osteoarthritis/osteoporosis like my Mother. I am taking 800 mg in

the morning and then again later in the day. Is 1600 enough for the

day, how far apart should the pills be and do I need to avoid food

with the pills?
