Are you getting enough calcium?
Calcium is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones at all ages. Use this simple calculator to estimate your average daily calcium intake from food and supplements.
This calculator gives an estimate only. It is not a diagnosis or a substitute for medical advice.
Tell me a little about yourself
Add your weekly servings
Select the foods you usually consume and enter the number of servings you have in a typical week. I will estimate your average calcium intake per day.
How I use this in clinic
In my osteoporosis and bone health reviews I often start with a simple question: where is your calcium coming from? Most patients are surprised by the answer. This calculator is the same kind of estimate I work through with patients in clinic.
It is meant for education only. It does not diagnose calcium deficiency and it does not prevent osteoporosis on its own. If you have osteoporosis, osteopenia, kidney disease, kidney stones, digestive conditions, or you are unsure whether you need calcium supplements, please speak with your doctor.
