Take a calcium supplement. Studies show that most postmenopausal American women consume just 800 mg of calcium a day on average. This is 700 mg below their daily requirement. Because of this, calcium supplements are necessary to ensure strong bones.
Many people believe that they can get enough calcium by taking calcium supplement tablets.
Calcium tablets are hard for your body to absorb. People may fail to absorb the calcium in the calcium supplement tablets they take. One cause may be the calcium supplement is not blended with Vitamin D and magnesium. These are necessary to aid in the absorption and use of calcium by your body. Even if the calcium supplement tablet is blended with Vitamin D and Magnesium it may still be hard for your body to utilize or break down the calcium so your body can use it.
