Women: Calcium is important for women, particularly in lowering the risk of osteoporosis. A diet high in calcium and Vitamin D has been proven to lower risk of bone fractures. In addition, calcium also plays a role in regulating blood pressure. How much for women? For women under 50 years old, the recommended amount is 1,000 milligrams. For women over 50, the recommendation increases to 1,200 mg.

Around 1500 mg but when choosing a supplement for calcium make sure to try and find one that has magnesium as well because the two feed off each other to make them work more effectively.
I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
