During peri / menopause, calcium becomes even more important because estrogen plays a key role in maintaining bone density. As estrogen levels decline, the body’s ability to retain calcium in bones decreases, leading to faster bone loss and an increased risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis over time.
So ensuring you’re getting enough, whether through diet or supplementation, can help maintain bone strength over time.
The key is getting enough K2 and magnesium to ensure calcium is properly utilised & regulated.
And not exceeding RDIs for calcium which is currently 1200mg per day for women.
