Calcium plays an important role in strengthening bones and teeth, but it also helps muscles and nerves function properly. How much do you and your kids need?
Kids (up to age 11): 700-900 mg daily Pre-teens & Teenagers: 1,000-1,200 mg daily Adults (ages 18-50): 1,000 mg daily Adults (51 and older): 1,200 mg daily
