Calcium is especially important during this time, as these are crucial years where you are building your 'bone bank' for life.4 5 Adulthood You reach your peak bone mass at around 30 years old. The more you have in your 'bone bank' at this stage, the more you can stave off the age-related decline in bone density. Menopause & Seniors Between the ages of 50 and 70, women need more calcium than men to make up for rapid bone loss during menopause.² This is why osteoporosis is more common in Australian women.6 Reference List 1.
