Hi,

Thank you for your question. For adults over the age of 50, it's recommended that you get 1200 mg of calcium daily.There was great article written by one of our experts explaining calcium supplements and how to choose the best one for you. You can access that article here. I hope this helps!

Best of luck,

Casey
