Why should people monitor their calcium intake?
Over time, having too little calcium can cause osteopenia, a reduction of mineral density in the bones. This can lead to osteoporosis, which causes the bones to thin and become vulnerable to fractures, as well as pain and problems with posture.

If levels of calcium are low for long periods, people may develop dry scaly skin, brittle nails, and coarse hair. Muscle cramps involving the back and legs are common too.

Timing
Your body can only absorb 600mg of calcium at one time, so those dosing for calcium intake after bariatric surgery are best advised to spread your intake for multiple doses across the day. This jar contains 34 serves 

Calcium can affect how the body takes in the nutrients iron, zinc and magnesium, so in terms of timing, avoid taking a calcium supplement at the same time as a meal that's high in iron.

Uses for constipation
Great for when your pipes are blocked. Vitamin C powder is the recommended treatment for constipation as it's far better than the fibre options, which only serve to block you up further. Start with 1/2 teaspoon in water, increase as necessary (everyone has their own natural level they can tolerate).
