During the aging process, more bone cells are destroyed than built. Osteoporosis (porous bones) are often a result, and can lead to fractures. It is recommended that people aged 19-50 consume about 1,000mg of calcium per day, while people aged 50+ should take about 1,200mg. Because the body does not make calcium, it is vital to have a regular calcium intake to maintain bone health.
