| Subject: | NonDairy Source for Calcium |
1. Calcium is widely available from non dairy sources, especially in foods fortified with calcium. Cereals have calcium added to them and since an acid environment improves the absorption of calcium the orange juices that have calcium added are an excellent source. See below for a list of non-dairy sources that I found on the internet. There is an abundance of resources available.
