Determine Your Calcium Needs

Use the Calcium CalculatorSM to estimate your current daily calcium intake, and learn about sources of calcium to help you achieve your recommended daily intake.
  1. For each Food Category listed, select the frequency of intake that best describes how often, on average, you consume a serving of the listed calcium source. Click "OK" to add to your Average Daily Total.
    Make sure you go through all the foods for accurate calculation!
  2. After you have gone through all the foods, enter information about yourself at the bottom of the Calcium CalculatorSM. Then click "Enter" to reveal your TARGET DAILY CALCIUM.
  3. Compare your estimated Average Daily Intake with your individual optimal target daily intake of calcium using the graph below. Calorie information is also provided for those persons interested in calorie intake. 

NOTE: If your average daily calcium intake is insufficient, you may want to consider supplements such as TUMS ® or OS-CAL®. For more information on each of these supplements, click below:
