I don't eat diary or very low (just Greek yoghurt sometimes ) - should I supplement with calcium ? What dosage you recommend?
If you're taking a Calcium Supplement, it's important to take Vitamin D with it.
Without the Vitamin D, the Calcium doesn't absorb properly and goes to the Kidneys where it can cause Kidney Stones.
So 1,000 Mg a Day in 2~500 Mg doses is best for anyone up to Age 50, after that it's 1,200 Mg in 2~600 Mg doses ~ this is for Calcium.
I'm a firm believer if you work out and don't live in a Southern Climate and get Direct Sunlight Exposure every Day.
Then you should be taking 5,000 Iu's of Vit~D~3 a day.
As I live in Philly, I take 10,000 Iu's every day in winter, and then 5,000 Iu's in Summer.

P.S.
I also take Magnesium with my Calcium.
As Magnesium increases Absorption of the Calcium.
So around 200 Mg of Magnesium Chelate with 500 Mg of Calcium Citrate.
