The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is the maximum level of total chronic intake of a nutrient from all sources judged to be unlikely to pose a risk of adverse health effects in humans (EFSA NDA Panel, 2022a).

An added level of 500 mg/day is reasonable, resulting in a UL of 3,000 mg of calcium per day for children 9 to 13 years of age and adolescents 14 to 18 years of age. The UL for children 1 through 8 years of age is the same as that established for these life stage groups in 1997 .
8 sie 2023 · One RCT (Ruggiero et al., 2019) conducted in Italy provided supplements containing 150 μg/week (21.43 μg/day) of calcidiol monohydrate or vitamin D 3, both with calcium (1 g/day), for 7 months to community-dwelling men and women > 75 years of age.
In 2003, the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) established a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of calcium for adults, including pregnant and lactating women, of 2,500 mg/day. This UL was based on different long-term intervention studies in which a total daily intake of 2,500 mg of calcium/day from
