The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for calcium in women ages 19-30 is 1,000 milligrams per day. Calcium intake does not become toxic until it reaches 2,500 milligrams a day. Calcium supplements are generally considered by nutritionists as an adequate way to meet your daily dose... However, keep in mind that calcium absorption is inhibited when over 500 milligrams are taken at one time (like in a supplement). It's far better to take small doses of calcium throughout the day.

So milk makes you queasy... OK. Cheeses, yogurt, sardines or fish with the bones still in them (OK yeah that's a little gross), and leafy green vegetables like spinach all have good amounts of calcium. Another really great idea is to drink fortified orange juice... it has 200-300 milligrams of calcium. But if you can't do any of that, calcium supplements in the right amount are not going to hurt you.

LOL sorry for that burst of info... I'm a Nutrition major


Oh, and KTsnake, I never thought that you were actually interested in buying this "miracle product" I just meant people in general should eat oranges... because they are MMM good
