1200 mg daily in divided doses (your body can only absorb about 500-600 mg at one time - I'd take one dose in the morning and one at night). Make sure you get a formulation with vitamin D, which is necessary for calcium absorption.

Why does Calcium absorption decline in the elderly?

Calcium absorption declines in the elderly because: Answer Vitamin D and estrogen both aid in calcium absorption. 20 minutes of sun exposure should be sufficient to get a body's daily recommended dose of Vitamin D.* Decrease of estrogen in menopausal women inhibits a body's ability to absorb calcium. Calcium supplements should be taken in small 500mg doses, with meals, three times a day to allow sufficient absorption.** *Always use sunscreen. **Consult with your doctor before beginning a vitamin supplement regimen.
