The doctor said I need more calcium.
Yes, they do :3
The calcium percentages that you see in nutrition facts are based on the amount of calcium a person would need in a day if he or she ate a 2,000 calorie diet. This amount is 1,000 mg of calcium, which may be recommended for adults. It is higher for teenagers and postmenopausal women. So, if a product states that it supplies 20% of the DV (daily value) for calcium (200 mg), it is considered to be a high source of calcium but if it is 5% of the DV (50 mg), then it is considered to be a low source of calcium. Rather than giving the actual amount in miligrams, label regulators decided to use percentages so that adults can easily compare product but sometimes it gets confusing for many.
Yes your body does need calcium because if your body doesn't have calcium it would decrease your bone strength.

Calcium is the main source for strong bones. A child's bones are still growing therefore they need more calcium than full grown adults. Teens also need calcium. Due to the fact that children and teens do not get enough calcium by way of dairy products or leafy green veggies, many food sources are fortified with calcium like Calcium fortified orange juice because most children would drink orange juice over milk anyday.
