Calcium Requirements

The average person daily requirement is 1000mg to 1300mg per day.

For children below 19yrs its 1300mg
From 9 to 18 years old the child needs the most calcium
19- 50 years old its 1000mg

and from teh age of 30yrs + the calcium intake tends to fall due to a number of reasons, mainly diet and lifestyle choice such as not enough exposure to sunlight as we tend not to want to go out as much as we get older.

So how does one tend to bridge this gaps with the down turn to calcium absorption in our bodies?

We can turn to a number of ways such as:

  • Calcium enriched foods
  • dairy Products
  • Calcium rich vegetables

or we can turn to finding a very good supplement.
