IMPORTANCE OF CALCIUM — GO DEEPER FOR BONE HEALTH

Calcium is an essential mineral needed to help support bone health* and is just as important as any other part of your wellness routine as you age. Even though our bodies need calcium, we don’t produce the mineral. We get it from the foods we eat every day. Unfortunately, most people don’t get enough calcium from food alone. Below is an easy-to-follow guide that answers common questions about the importance of calcium.

RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF CALCIUM

The recommended amount of calcium depends on your age and sex. Here is a breakdown of what you need on a daily basis:*

Citracal recommended dosage for ages 12-18 1300 Calcium mg per day
Citracal recommended dosage for ages 19-50 is 1000 Calcium mg per day
Citracal recommended dosage for women ages 51-70 is 1200 Calcium mg per day
Citracal recommended dosage for men ages 51-70 is 1000 Calcium mg per day
