Recommended dose of calcium for children?

Answer 1

It depends how young your child is. I'm currently doing coursework on the subject so this site really helped me out. It highlights all the daily requirements. Just select an age group

How much calcium?


Calcium needs change depending on age. Here are the recommended amounts:

Children 0-6 months: 210 mg

Children 6-12 months: 270 mg

Children 1-3 years: 500 mg

Children 4-8: 800 mg

Children 9-18: 1,300 mg

Adults 19-50: 1,000 mg

Adults 51-plus: 1,200 mg

Answer 3

The amount of calcium a child between the age of 1-3 is required to have about 500mg of calcium each day. Since children between the age of 1-3 usually drink milk on a daily basis they usually will meet the required amount of calcium which is 500mg, 2 glasses of milk equals 500mg.
