Normally 4 to 6 servings per day of any of the following would supply an adequate amount of
calcium. However, youths and pregnant or lactating women should eat 6 to 8 servings to be on the safe side.

    •     Calcium-fortified foods & beverages providing 150 mg calcium per serving.

Supplements & vitamin D

Supplements should be just that; a supplement to a calcium-rich menu plan. If you are concerned about your calcium intake, top-up with calcium carbonate (250-500 mg). Vitamin D produced in the body by exposure to sunlight is a necessary partner for calcium absorption.

Note: Sunscreen (spf 15+) will block vitamin D production. No fun in the sun? We suggest a multivitamin containing 400-800 I.U. vitamin D. Remember high levels of vitamin D are toxic. Don't over do it.
