Is 1200mg of calcium alot?!
Question: Perhaps you are taking 2 calcium carbonate tablets a day. The recommended amount is 1 or 2 a day.
Large intakes of calcium generally require a magnesium supplement as well to avoid a deficiency of magnesium and you can actually get supplements containing calcium and magnesium together.

Nope it seem a good daily amount for ages 11-24 years...
Here is a source of info
I had been taking that much and just found out from my physical Therapist that it is way to much as the body can't handle more than 600 m.g. daily!
If that much is taken on a daily basis it makes the bones inflexible like cement and they brake easier!
I just got out of a cast, broken leg, I had been wondering why I had a break with all the exercise I do and all the calcium I took and that is what I was told! .....
