A high rich in calcium can help to prevent osteoporosis, but it will not always prevent it and cannot do so alone. Vitamin D is also necessary, because without it, we cannot properly absorb the calcium. Adults between the ages of 18 and 50 should get about 1000mg of calcium per day, while adults over 50 should get about 1200mg. However, calcium overdose can be dangerous as well, and you avoid consuming very high amounts of calcium. Usually up to 1500mg is recommended, and at 2500mg or higher, symptoms of overdose will begin.
