Our dr's instructions were to take one in the afternoon and one in the evening at least two hours after taking our multivitamin with iron. I keep forgetting to take the afternoon one. Why can't we take the 1000mg at one time (two chews), anyone know?

If that is the one that comes in the large container , I take 3 every morning at once. I was never told to spread them out.

No, they are individually wrapped in a bag.

I'll ask our nutritionist next Monday at our meeting but I'm curious now.

I was told that the body can't absorb it all at once. So I have to take 3 throughout the day and I forget to take the evening dose as well

I'm good with the evening dose but too busy in the day to take the first one or don't have one on me. Annoying

I was told that our bodies aren't usually able to absorb all of that at once so we have to spread it out.

I set alarms on my phone to take them so I don't forget.

My doc never said to spread them out. I am curious about it though. I forget to take mine too.

My office said that our body absorbs only 500 at a time, so anything over that is not being stored, but wasted.
