Dairy Foods — more than calcium
Besides calcium, a serve of dairy** (such as a glass of milk or a tub of yogurt or two slices (40g) of cheese) also contains a number of additional nutrients important for bone health – including protein, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc. Dairy foods also provide other essential nutrients such as carbohydrate, potassium, and riboflavin. So dairy foods pack a powerful nutrient punch!
