Can a vegan cheese or vegan yogurt provide calcium? It depends on whether the product is fortified with calcium. Fortified products have as much as 390 milligrams of calcium in a serving. To put this into perspective, the RDA for calcium for adults age 19-50 years and men 51-70 years is 1,000 milligrams per day and 1,200 milligrams per day for women over 51 years and for men over 70 years.
Although vegans don’t have to use calcium-fortified vegan cheese or vegan yogurt, it is heartening to see that these products are available. Our website provides information about other vegan sources of calcium.
