Today's supplements
Read the form, the strength and the serving size off the panel on the back. Serving size especially — some labels state their figures per two tablets, not one.

Weekly & monthly
Tick these off the day you take them. The dose is then spread across the days it actually covers, and the app tells you when the next one is due — miss it and your figures drop, which is the truth.

Today's food
Tap things as you have them — don't save it up for the evening. Rough is fine: food calcium is the half that doesn't need to be exact.

This week's strength work
Calcium is the material. Loading the bone is what tells the body to keep it there. Two to three sessions a week — weights, bands, or your own body weight.
this week
Outdoors today
Sunlight makes vitamin D, and vitamin D is what lets you absorb the calcium. How much sun you need — and whether you need to cover up — depends entirely on where you are and what time of year it is.

Your skin
Melanin is sun protection you were born with. Deeper skin needs noticeably longer in the sun to make the same vitamin D — and burns less readily.
Staying power

Why there's a ceiling
After the age of 40, calcium remains essential for maintaining strong bones, but more is not always better. Most adults need 1,000–1,200 mg of calcium per day, preferably from food, while intakes above 2,000 mg daily provide no additional bone benefit and may increase the risk of kidney stones. Healthy bones also depend on adequate vitamin D, protein, magnesium and regular weight-bearing exercise, all of which work together to support bone strength and reduce fracture risk.
The two numbers that matter
Source: National Academy of Medicine intake recommendations, as summarised by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
What's established
Intake above roughly 2,000 mg a day is linked to an increased risk of kidney stones. There is also no bone benefit to going above the recommended amount — more calcium does not mean stronger bones.
What's still argued
Whether calcium from supplements contributes to arterial plaque is genuinely contested. Some studies find an increased risk of heart problems with high supplemental intake; others find none. Anyone telling you it's settled — in either direction — is ahead of the evidence.
See the Harvard Nutrition Source review of calcium for the competing findings.
Why 500 mg at a time
Your body absorbs calcium best in doses of around 500 mg or less. A single large tablet is partly wasted — splitting the same amount across the day gets more of it in.
