In addition, calcium is also one of the factors which may cause female aging. As a result, the supplementation of calcium is especially important for women. Experts suggest that, adult women should take in at least 1,000 milligrams of calcium every day. If they are during pregnancy, lactation or menopause, the amount should be added to 1500 milligrams. The best sources of calcium are dairy products, beans, green vegetables, and so on.
