Do men need calcium supplement?

Depends: We do not recommend calcium supplementation for the heck of supplementing. We always prefer you to get your calcium from your food. However, in men who has osteoporosis or osteopenia, calcium supplementation + vitamin d is appropriate and recommended.

Some do: Most men do not, but some with problems absorbing or processing calcium, with certain medical conditions, or with weaker bones, do.
