Calcium: Calcium In Your Diet

In general, children need about 800mg of calcium
per day. Adolescents should have a minimum of 1000mg
each day, adult women 1200mg, pregnant or breastfeeding
women need about 1500mg per day, as do women who have
reached menopause. Adult men should have between 1000mg
and 1200mg or calcium per day.

It takes a balance among the other minerals, vitamins,
enzymes, and hormones, for the calcium to be absorbed
by our bodies where and how it is needed.
