Calcium additives
reducing milk consumption to prevent lactose also reduces calcium intake. The Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for the average adult is approximately 1000 mg per day, but women over 50 and children require higher amounts. If you are on a milk-restricted diet, you must take calcium supplements to prevent osteomalacia and osteoporosis in elderly women, poor bone development in children, low bone mass, etc. These supplements are readily available without a prescription.
Vitamin D supplements: similar to calcium, vitamin D supplements are necessary for optimal bone development and maintenance.
