The orthodox recommendation of Calcium is 800mg per day. Non orthodox nutritional practitioners recommend only 300mg per day. You will be able to get all the calcium you need from food. When you overload your body with calcium it actually ends up needing more and more in the long run. Your body becomes deficient in the midst of plenty. Look how the hormones Parathyroid, Calcitriol and Calcitonin work in relation to balancing calcium in the body. Then look at how much calcium is already in foods. If you are a relatively healthy person, then there's no need to supplement Calcium at all and it's actually detrimental to your health in the long run.
