Osteoporosis Prevention Recommendations
Calcium is a mineral that is essential for life, yet the majority of Americans do not get adequate calcium on a daily basis. Calcium plays an important role in building stronger, denser bones early in life and keeping bones strong and healthy later in life.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends that individuals under the age 50 take 1000 mg of Calcium daily and 400-800 IU of Vitamin D3 daily.
