Calcium builds the bones and teeth kids carry for life, and the daily target grows as they do — about 700mg for toddlers, 1000mg for ages 4–8, and 1300mg through the teen years, per the USDA Dietary Reference Intakes. This calculator turns that into a simple number and shows how a 7 oz YoguRico (about 260 mg of calcium each) helps fill the gap.
How much calcium does a child need per day?
