The recommended amount of calcium per day depends on the age of the person. For example, teenagers (14-18 years old) should consume about 1300 mg of calcium, while adults (19-50) should consume about 1000 mg per day. It is recommended to take a dose of 500 mg each time, not more.
You should take your calcium supplement at night before you go to sleep because the body uses its calcium at night.
