If you don\u2019t regularly consume dairy products or other calcium-rich foods (such as spinach), keeping up with your calcium needs is tricky.<\/p>\n<p>Adults should get 1,000 mg of calcium a day; women ages 51 and older and men ages 71 and older need 1,200 mg. But 4 in 10 adults didn\u2019t get that amount, according to a 2024 study in the journal Nutrients. (One cup of whole-milk yogurt contains 300 mg.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you don\u2019t get enough calcium from your diet, your body will pull it from your bones,&#8221; says Bess Dawson-Hughes, MD, a professor of medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston. One widely known consequence of calcium deficiency is osteoporosis, a disease that raises the risk for bone breaks and fractures.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re at risk for osteoporosis (about half of women 50 and older are), if you have osteoporosis, or if you don\u2019t get enough calcium from food, consider a supplement.<\/p>\n<p>Pay attention to the amount: Too much calcium can raise your risk for constipation, kidney problems, and\u2014according to some research\u2014heart attacks. Talk to your doctor about the right dose.<\/p>\n<p>You shouldn\u2019t get more than 2,500 mg if you\u2019re under age 51; those older should limit their intake to 2,000 mg. Calcium carbonate is generally the most economical type, but if you find it constipating, try calcium citrate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CalciumThis mineral is critical to keeping bones healthy and strong.
