Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alexandra100" data-source="post: 2476930" data-attributes="member: 429870">[USER=112460]@Dr Snoddy[/USER], yes its very interesting that in New Zealand 500mg calcium is considered sufficient, whereas here, "The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends that women aged 50 or younger and men 70 or younger should get 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day. Men and women older than that should get 1,200 mg daily."  The NHS says one can take up to 1500mg calcium daily without risk. I take issue with some of the target amounts for various vitamins and minerals they set, and yet go on to say these can be had from a normal diet. IMO its either lower the targets or accept that supplementation is often/usually/ necessary to meet them.</blockquote>
