A member asked:
Can you let me know how many pills of calcium should a 15 year old boy eat a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1000 mg/day: You should get about 1000mg/day. I think the best way is getting it with your diet. Milk is great esp since it has vitamin d. Cheese and yogurt as well.3to 4 servings of dairy a day. One serving of dairy is 8 oz of milk, or 2 slices of cheese or 2 containers of yogurt so choose your 3 to 4 servings. If u use supplements try to get natural supplements from real food
