How much calcium does a glass of milk provide?

Recently we analyzed and knew the whole truth about cow's milk, discovering that -in fact- we are facing a nutritionally rich drink, without a doubt, but that in turn brings to our body a series of effects and consequences not as positive as it was thought.

When we always tend to talk about milk it is usual that we do it referring not only to its different nutritional benefits, but also to its content -and contribution- in calcium. In fact they have always "sold" us that milk is fundamental for our health, precisely because of its high content in this essential mineral for our body. However, as many nutritionists say, the only certainty is that in reality the only milk we should drink is breast milk.

Not in vain, did you know that other foods provide even more calcium than the milk itself? We discover how much calcium a glass of milk brings, and we also compare it with other foods that are much richer in calcium.

In relation to the amount of calcium that a glass of milk provides, we must bear in mind that the contribution varies depending on the origin of the milk, since it is not the same from a nutritional point of view to drink a glass of cow's milk, which glass of goat or sheep's milk.

Amount of calcium provided by a glass of milk

Here we indicate quantities that provides a glass of milk of 250 ml. (which is the approximate milliliter amount of a normal-sized glass):

Foods richer in calcium

Here we indicate calcium amounts that provide certain foods per 100 grams and 250 grams of product:
