1,000 mg of Calcium Daily for Adults 50+
Calcium is necessary for building strong bones and helping muscles contract.* Each day, we lose calcium through our nails, hair, sweat and waste. Your body can’t make calcium so when it needs it, it takes it from your bones which weakens them. Low calcium levels are associated with bone conditions. The U.S. National Library of Medicine recognizes it as effective for supporting bone loss.*

800- 1,000 IU of Vitamin D Daily for Adults 50+
The body needs Vitamin D in order to absorb calcium. Without enough vitamin D, the body can only absorb 10% to 15% of dietary calcium and may take calcium from your bones which can weaken them.* Ultraviolet B rays from sunlight provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D. You can also get Vitamin D through food such as tuna, Shiitake mushrooms, beef, egg yolks or salmon. A 3 ounce salmon, for example, provides 425 IU of Vitamin D.

310-420 mg of Magnesium Daily for Adults 50+
Magnesium is a mineral that plays an important role in bone development.* The National Institutes of Health recognizes that people with higher intakes of magnesium have high bone mineral density – important for reducing risk of fractures. It’s recommended that men get 400-420 mg and women get 310-320 mg each day. You can get magnesium through foods such as dark leafy greens, avocados, soybeans, fish, nuts and seeds.
