This is probably the most common question parents ask us.
The honest answer: if your child eats dairy regularly, their calcium from food is likely adequate.
But here is what parents often miss: Calcium needs Vitamin D3 to be absorbed from the gut.
Most Northern European children are insufficient in D3 for large parts of the year — regardless of their dairy intake.
Calcium needs Magnesium to be deposited properly into bone. Magnesium is poorly represented in most dairy-heavy European diets.
Calcium needs Vitamin K2 (MK-7) to be directed to bones rather than soft tissue. K2 is almost completely absent from most children's diets.
So: dairy eater? Great.
But the supporting cast matters.
FisherKinder Calcium & Magnesium & Zinc is formulated to complement the diet — not replace it. At 250mg calcium per sachet, it contributes meaningfully without overshoot.
