“People who eat high amounts of protein or sodium may also need to supplement calcium because a high intake of either increases calcium excretion,” she adds. Some of those include eating disorders, mercury exposure, lack of parathyroid hormone, kidney failure, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, vitamin D deficiency, and prolonged use of laxatives or chemotherapy drugs. “There are many health conditions that may predispose someone to have a calcium deficiency,” Prest says. If you eat dairy-free, though, or have been diagnosed with a deficiency by your doctor, then taking a calcium supplement may be a good idea. It’s recommended that adults under 70 consume 1,000 milligrams (mg) daily, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is best achieved through diet in foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt, and non-dairy alternatives like kale, broccoli, and fortified juices and tofu.
