no I meant it was me not doing the understanding part :-)

If I take 500mgs in the AM and take another dose 4 hours later, am I going to absorb, over time, 1,000 mgs....suppose I only wait two hours between doses? I think I'm not understanding the mechanism of absorption and assimilation. Can you help me out?

absorption is like everything individual.
If you function on the hyper side it will go thru you in probably 4 hrs or so and every 4 hrs is fine..on the hypo side..probably every 2 days is fine!
..but "normal" is about 12 hrs I think.

It may not hurt to take every 4 hrs, just you may waste some if you only can "absorb and use" 500mg twice a day or so.

With calcium most passes thru you, but you really don't want tooo much..like calcium kidney stones?, or changing that parathyroid feeedback stuff..so with all this its best not to take too much.
That said 1000mgs all at once is how a lot of people take it and it works fine, usually at night with say 500mg magnesium?

The people I know who take it twice daily are either hyperthyroid..so it goes thru them faster,
or have problems with the parathyroid axis/osteoporisis etc. and have been told by their docs to take it like that just to ensure coverage. But for many once a day works fine.
Sorry that's about all I Know. Hope it helps.
