Read my journal entry for calcium--just click on my photo. I wrote about the latest heart calcium stody. How old are you? You should get your calcium levels checked by your doctor, examine your diet, and do weight bearing exercise--then you can determine how much calcium you need. You might not need as much as you did in your younger years.
