Cyndi - I was about to chime in on the same issue - we recommend 1000 mg of calcium daily for pre-menopausal women and 1500 mg of calcium daily for post-menopausal women. Remember, it needs to be split up - you can't take the entire 1500 mg at once - your body won't absorb the whole thing. The best way is to take 500 mg three times a day.
