Default question about Celebrate calcium

Anybody notice how on Celebrate calcium supplements, both the chewable plus and the ones you swallow, it tells you the daily dose is 1000 mg? But really, we are supposed to have at least 1500 mg a day. So you buy a bottle that says it will last you 30 days but it really won't, if you take the right amount. It would only last you three weeks. For some reason their chewable 500 ones are labeled right. They say to take three a day, which gives you 1500 mg, and a bottle of that really would last 30 days. But why are the other ones short?

I was assuming it was that the new labeling hasn't caught up yet?

That was my guess anyway. Since you know that Vic will answer emails fairly quickly, maybe you could shoot him an email and ask?
