Do 4 pieces contain?: Do 4 pieces contain 1,000mg of calcium? if so - then you should really only take 2 pieces of the calcium chews at a time, b/c our body doesn't absorb more than 500mg at a time so well, and there are some increased risks associated with taking all the calcium at one time. If the 4 pieces have more than 1,000mg, then dont' take them all. You probably get some Ca from your diet.
