You have to watch out for the docs. When they say 1200mg calcium a day they usually just lea e it at that. What they mean, or should mean, get most of those mgs from food. No more than 500mg of a calcium supplement, if any. The problem is that calcium from the supplement goes to your blood not your bones, thereby not helping the bones but increasing the risk of arterial plague. Sheep or goat cheese, kefir/yoqurt, greens, mk7 - 180 mcg, and weight lifting (very important). There's more but these will put you on the path.
