The body continually needs calcium to replace calcium lost in bone and in teeth. There is no age at which the body "stops accepting calcium". Instead, women who do not exercise (weight bearing exercise), do not consume milk products, do not get enough sunshine, etc. can experience problems with the body being able to use calcium and Vitamin D to make new bone. Then teeth and bone become "brittle" and more apt to break or disintegrate.
