• Calcium supplements don’t contain all the nutrients that dairy products do. You should get most of your calcium from foods, and make up any shortfalls with supplements. • Milk and milk products are great sources of calcium, potassium, riboflavin, phosphorus, vitamins A, D and B-12, and protein. • The vitamins and minerals in dairy products work together to help the body absorb more calcium.
