Got Calcium?



The most calcium-rich milks.


Cow's Milk:


Cow's milk is a common and excellent source of calcium. It also contains vitamin D, which helps with calcium absorption. Choose low-fat or non-fat options for reduced saturated fat intake.


Fortified Plant-Based Milks:


Many plant-based milks, such as almond milk, soy milk, and oat milk, are often fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Be sure to check the labels to ensure they are fortified.


Fortified Rice Milk:


Fortified rice milk can also provide a source of calcium for individuals who are lactose intolerant or have allergies to other types of milk.


Fortified Coconut Milk:


Some brands of coconut milk are fortified with calcium and vitamin D. However, coconut milk generally has a lower calcium content compared to cow's milk or fortified plant-based milks.


Fortified Hemp Milk:


Hemp milk can be a good source of calcium and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Look for varieties that are fortified with calcium and vitamin D.


Fortified Cashew Milk:


Cashew milk can also be fortified with calcium and vitamin D, making it a suitable option for those seeking dairy alternatives.


Fortified Flax Milk:


Flax milk is another plant-based milk that may be fortified with calcium and vitamin D, offering a dairy-free calcium source.
