Why does Better Calcium only include 500 mg of calcium? Isn’t more better?Updated 4 days ago

No — more isn’t better.

Experts agree the body can only absorb 500 mg of calcium at a time, and taking more may increase the risk of kidney stones, constipation, and hypercalcemia. 

Better Calcium provides the ideal, evidence-based amount to safely fill nutritional gaps in the average American diet.
