Hello,
I am interested in how to supplement calcium with lactose intolerance if a person will not consume dairy products at all. Is it possible to obtain enough calcium from the diet, or is supplementation necessary?
Thank you for your response.
Even though animal dairy products are presented as the most efficient source of calcium, they are by no means the only one. Significant amounts of this element can be found in many other foods - most notably in bones (using bone broths), with nuts and seeds being very rich sources as well, and in smaller amounts in meat, eggs, and certain types of vegetables. In the educational application ZOF, you have the opportunity to sort foods in various categories based on the content of selected nutrients, which can certainly be useful when creating meal plans.
