Calcium and vitamin supplements are commonly used to promote bone health, support immune function, and maintain overall health. The appropriate indication and dosage of calcium and vitamin supplements may vary based on individual needs, medical history, and other factors. Here is a general guideline:

Indication:

• Calcium supplement is indicated for individuals who have low calcium intake, poor calcium absorption, or increased calcium needs due to certain conditions such as osteoporosis, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
• A vitamin supplement is indicated for individuals who have inadequate vitamin intake or are at risk of vitamin deficiency due to poor diet, malabsorption, or certain medical conditions such as anemia, liver disease, or kidney disease.

Dosage:

• The recommended daily calcium intake varies by age and sex. Adults aged 19-50 years require 1000-1200 mg of calcium per day, while those over 50 years need 1200-1500 mg per day.
• Vitamin supplement dosage varies by the type of vitamin. Here are some recommended daily intakes for adults:
  • Vitamin D: 600-800 IU per day
  • Vitamin C: 75-90 mg per day
