Calcium supplements may be recommended in the following situations:

1. Osteoporosis or low bone density
2. Menopause or hormonal imbalances
3. Vitamin D deficiency
4. Certain gastrointestinal conditions that interfere with calcium absorption, such as inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease
5. Chronic kidney disease
6. Certain medications that can deplete calcium levels, such as corticosteroids or anticonvulsants

Dosage:

The recommended daily intake of elemental calcium for adults is 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams. This can be obtained through a combination of dietary sources and supplements.
