Who needs more Calcium?
It can be difficult to obtain sufficient calcium in the diet if you do not eat plenty of dairy or other calcium containing products (sardines, tofu). So anyone who does not eat dairy products or who has a dairy allergy may require calcium supplementation.
Athletes and pregnant and breastfeeding women require more calcium.
Smokers and those who drink excessively are at risk of not absorbing sufficient calcium from their diet so they may require extra calcium.
Peri and post menopausal women require more calcium because their estrogen levels are dropping and this reduces the body's ability to build bone.
Also, those who are thin or have a small frame don't have a very large internal supply of calcium and may require extra calcium.
Excessive protein or salt intake in the diet may lead to low bone density and weakness and therefore people with a high protein diet or those eating salty, processed foods may require extra calcium.
