sredman1197 0 Posted August 8, 2014 So I am 2 months out and ran out of my Calcium and Iron and didn't have time to go to my Dr office to buy more because the office closes before I get off work. So I went to Walmart and bought the wrong kind. I bought calcium carbonate instead of calcium citrate and iron in ferrous sulfate form instead of ferrous fumarate. My question is will I be ok to take these for a month or did I just waste my money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyjenn 3 Posted August 9, 2014 I wouldn't take them. :-( did you open them already? If not take them back and exchange them. If you did...then yeah I hate to say it but you did waste money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neska 6 Posted August 9, 2014 My nutritional plan allows Calcium carbonate but you must take 500mg more than the citrate, take at least 2 hours after any Iron, and spread out the dose into 2-3 times a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaifra78 4 Posted August 9, 2014 even if you did open them you can still return the to Walmart but yeah they don't absorb a good as the ones that are recommended Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubyred138 17 Posted August 11, 2014 I was advised against the carbonate because it can give you kidney stones. I picked up the citrate chewables made by twinlabs at the Vitamin Shoppe. 20 days worth for just $15 (i was told to take 6 per day). they taste like sour patch kids.
