Hi Rick,
You need a total of 1000mg calcium, so if you double your dose, you'll be fine.
I can't claim to fully understand the ins and outs of how they obtain their calcium, ![Dazed](/images/smilies/spineyes.gif) but generally you need the "elemental" calcium, and I'm assuming your bottle says something like 530mg elemental calcium and 265mg elemental magnesium.
I remember getting caught early on by this. I had a bottle that said "Calcium 250, magnesium 125," and I thought great, just what I need. It was only when I was wondering why i was still getting occasional cramps and read the label more closely that I saw I was only getting 100 mg calcium with each dose, not 250!
Cheers.
