Adults need approximately 400–1000 IU vitamin D and 1000–1200 calcium/day. Milk provides 25–30% of calcium and 12–25% vitamin D per glass. Additionally, milk provides 7 other nutrients including protein which contributes to bone health. Literature suggests that adults should consume 3 servings of dairy per day. However, as little as 1–8 oz glass of milk in addition to other dairy products can contribute to your nutritional health by providing an easily absorbable form of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals.
