Most women don’t get enough calcium. Protect your bones – get plenty of calcium every day.
Make sure you know how much calcium you need.
Women ages 19 to 50 need 1,000 mg of calcium daily. Girls and women over age 50 need even more calcium. Find out how much calcium you need each day.
Make it easy to remember.
If you take a calcium pill:
- Take it at the same time every day. For example, try taking it with your breakfast.
- Leave the pill bottle on the kitchen or bathroom counter where you will see it.
