Another important questions many of our clients have regards calcium intake. Take Beth for example.
When Beth had her most recent physical, her physician talked to her about osteoporosis. Beth's mother and grandmother both have osteoporosis and she has seen the problems that it can cause. She is 33 years old, has not yet gone through menopause and is engaging in weight bearing activities so she is not concerned about those aspects. She is concerned though about her calcium and vitamin D intake. How much calcium should Beth be taking daily?
1,000 mg
1,200 mg
1,500 mg
2,500 mg
