calcium supplements- how old do women need to be when starting on calcium supplements? If i eat lots of dairy do i still need extra calcium?

Diet is the key. Also asking yoru doctor for a bone density test. Personally I like the caramel chewy calcium things!!!

Those chewy ones are good- I think it is never too soon to begin taking a calcium supplment. It is just such a good boost to every woman's health.

I began in my 20s. My grandmother, who once was 5'10" (Amazon woman . . . her mother was a 6' tall woman!), had shrunk down to about 5'2" at the time of her death. It alarmed me and got me thinking early on. Could't hurt I don't think. I like the caramel chewey ones too!
