Calcium helps to build and maintain strong bones and teeth.
Most people get enough calcium through their diet, but certain people may benefit from taking a calcium supplement.
If you’re elderly, you’re more likely to be at risk for fractures and osteoporosis, so if you’re not getting enough calcium in your diet, you may benefit from taking a supplement.
Vegans and those who are lactose-free are also at risk of a deficiency as calcium is typically found in dairy products and fish.

If your child doesn’t like milk, a supplement may be a good alternative to ensure that they’re developing as they should.
