1 PATIENT & CAREGIVER EDUCATION Calcium Supplements This information describes calcium supplements and how to take them. Calcium is a mineral that you need to build and maintain healthy bones. If you don t g et enoug h calcium from your diet, your body will take it from your bones. Osteoporosis Osteoporosis develops when you lose bone tissue, which makes your bones more likely to fracture (break). Osteoporosis is most common in women who have g one throug h menopause. However, it can develop in anyone, including men, due to medication or illness. Some risk factors for osteoporosis include: Having a thin build Being of Northern European or Asian descent Having fair skin Going throug h menopause early (before the ag e of 45) Taking certain steroid medications for long er than 3 months Not g etting enoug h physical activity Not g etting enoug h calcium in your diet (or from dietary supplements) Smoking Drinking too much alcohol (more than 1 drink per day if you are a woman and more than 2 drinks per day if you are a man) Taking aromatase inhibitors (medications that stop the production of estrog en and are used to treat breast cancer) Vitamin D Vitamin D is a vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium. Your body makes Calcium Supplements 1/6
2 vitamin D after being exposed to the sun. Vitamin D is also found in some foods. However, it may be difficult to get enough vitamin D from sunlight and foods alone. Your doctor or dietitian may tell you to take vitamin D supplements. These can be prescription or over-the-counter vitamin D supplement pills, or calcium supplements with added vitamin D. Recommended Daily Intakes of Calcium and Vitamin D Getting enoug h calcium in your diet helps prevent osteoporosis. Calcium is measured in millig rams (mg) that you need per day. People between the ag es of 19 and 50 need 1,000 mg of calcium per day. Women who are 51 and over need 1,200 mg of calcium per day. Men who are between 51 and 70 need 1,000 mg of calcium while men who are over 70 need 1,200 mg of calcium every day. Vitamin D is measured in international units (IU) that you need per day. If you re between the ages of 19 and 70, you need 600 IU of vitamin D per day. If you re over 70 years of age, you need 800 IU of vitamin D per day. If you have osteoporosis, you may need more calcium, vitamin D, or both. Talk with your doctor or dietitian about how much you need per day. Don t take more than your daily recommended amount of calcium because it can be harmful to your health. Sources of Calcium Food The best way to get calcium is through the food you eat. Dairy products are a g ood source of calcium. If you re lactose intolerant, try lactose-free dairy products or Lactaid pills. You can also try calcium-fortified orang e juice and other foods. Check food labels to see the amount of calcium in foods. The table at the end of this resource lists some calcium rich foods and beverag es. Calcium Supplements 2/6
3 Calcium supplements You may find it difficult to g et enoug h calcium from your diet alone. Your doctor or dietitian may sug g est that you take a calcium supplement. You don t need a prescription for this. Your doctor or dietitian will tell you how much you should take. Types of Calcium Supplements There are several types of over-the-counter calcium supplements, including calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. These supplements are taken orally (by mouth). Don t buy calcium tablets that are made from bone or dolomite. These may contain lead or other harmful metals. Certain health-food store preparations have this problem. Most calcium supplements that you buy in a pharmacy have been tested for this. Calcium carbonate Calcium carbonate is absorbed best if you take it with meals. OsCal and Caltrate are 2 brands of calcium carbonate supplements. Other forms of calcium carbonate include: Some antacids, such as Tums. If you take Tums, you don t need to take it with a meal. Viactiv, which is a flavored soft chew. A liquid form that you can usually g et from a pharmacy, but may require a special order. Calcium citrate Calcium citrate is another type of calcium supplement. Some people may absorb calcium citrate better than calcium carbonate. This is true for older people, or those with low stomach acid (e.g., people who have pernicious anemia). Calcium citrate absorbs best if you take it 30 minutes before a meal. One brand of calcium citrate is Citracal, which is available in most pharmacies. If you have any of the following side effects with calcium carbonate, take calcium Calcium Supplements 3/6
4 citrate instead: Abdominal pain Gas Constipation Taking Calcium Supplements If you re taking more than 500 mg of calcium supplements per day, take it in divided doses for best absorption. For example, if you take 1,000 mg of calcium each day, take 500 mg in the morning and 500 mg in the evening. Talk with your doctor or dietitian before taking calcium supplements if you: Have a history of hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood) Take diuretics (water pills) or antacids for indig estion Have ever had kidney stones Have had problems with your parathyroid g lands Have a history of heart disease, including heart attack or stroke If you re taking a bisphosphonate medication for osteoporosis (or for other reasons), take your calcium supplement at least 30 minutes after you take it. If you re not sure if the medication that you re taking is a bisphosphonate, talk with your doctor. Some examples of bisphosphonate medications are alendronate (Fosamax ) and risedronate (Actonel ). Please note that calcium supplements don t replace other medications for the treatment of osteoporosis. Calcium supplements can cause constipation. If you have this side effect, increase the amount of liquids and fiber in your diet. If that doesn t work, talk with your doctor or nurse about taking a stool softener or laxative, or try to g et more calcium from foods rather than supplements. Calcium Supplements 4/6
