Calcium Requirements for Kids
Ages 4-8 = 800 mg calcium per day
 Childhood is a time of rapid growth making proper nutrition especially important. Most babies and young toddlers start off right because both breastfeeding and formula provide the adequate balance of nutrients including calcium. But, as children begin exerting their independence by choosing the foods they eat, calcium deficiency can become a problem.
Calcium Supplements for Kids
Although the best way for children to get the calcium their bones need is through a nutritious, well-balanced diet, as every parent knows, sometimes that’s a challenge. Many children are “picky eaters” making it nearly impossible to meet their calcium needs every day. Besides, little tummies sometimes can’t eat enough food to meet the 800 mg calcium requirement. If you need an easy way to give your kids the calcium they need, consider Adora Calcium supplements in premium chocolate. Adora is:
- Made with all-natural ingredients (no trans fats or artificial sweeteners)
- Lactose free (Dark Chocolate) for kids who have trouble digesting dairy
- 500 mg of calcium per piece (children can have 1-2 per day depending on their diet)
And, Adora Calcium was named one of the “Top 8 Fun Vitamins for Children” by About.com Nutrition Expert, Shereen Jegtvig.
