Specializes in Pediatrics

You're a teen : The nih recommends 1300 mg daily of calcium in 18 year old women. Using Depo-Provera shot is irrelevant to dose. See nih office of dietary supplements for guidelines and lists of calcium rich foods. http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/calcium-healthprofessional/.
