My vitamin bible recommends 500-750mg per day (The Real Vitamin & Mineral Book by S. Lieberman - very well presented and well researched information). I take a 1:1 300mg calcium/magnesium supplement 2x day. Taking as much magnesium as calcium is also supposed to help curb sugar cravings! This is actually why I started taking it. Manganese (15-50mg/day) and Chromium (200-600 mcg/day) are also important for blood sugar regulation.
