As we mentioned in the previous post, the Institute of Medicine has come out with new lower recommendations for calcium.
Most people need about 1000 mg per day. And remember, that means from all sources, not just supplements. So there is usually no need to be taking 1000 mg per day of calcium.
That said, let's take a look at some of the best sources of calcium in the diet. After all, cows don't drink milk - they get their calcium from green leafy vegetables.

Thank you for this chart that can help me use food as my calcium source.
I have started to get some vitamin D overdosing symptoms. As soon as I backed off of my calcium supplement the symptoms have subsided.
