Calcium: One more of our super powers
ROLAIDS® Reliever in flight

Calcium is essential

Young, old, short, tall, male, female, superhero and mortal - we all need calcium. Not only for well-known benefits like building strong bones and teeth, but also to help our muscles, nerves and hearts function properly.

Are you getting enough?

Unfortunately, over two-thirds of Americans aren't meeting their daily calcium requirements. The National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference on Osteoporosis recommends the following calcium intake:

  • 1000 mg/day for men and women
  • 1200 mg/day for teenagers and young adults ages 11 to 24

A quick and easy boost

ROLAIDS® swiftly subdues your toughest heartburn while also providing your body with elemental calcium - the amount that's actually absorbed by your body. ROLAIDS® tastes great and is a convenient source of calcium.
