Calcium is a mineral we can get from milk and dairy products or from supplements that don't contain milk or dairy products. It is an important nutrient for our body and is necessary for us to have stronger bones and teeth.That's why having enough calcium is particularly important for growing kids and adolescents, as well as women after menopause.

Calcium may also help keep your heart healthy, by lowering your blood pressure and reducing the risk of artery-clogging plaque buildup in your arteries. And when you're getting calcium from foods like dark leafy greens or almonds, it can also help reduce levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL), which is the bad kind of cholesterol that can lead to heart disease or stroke. Because our bodies don't produce calcium on their own, it's important to make sure we're getting enough calcium every day. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of calcium for children over 9 years old is 1,300mg a day. For adults over 50 years, its 1,000mg.
